A Central Frontenac Township man was killed Saturday night after the pickup truck he was driving went off the road and hit a tree on Ardoch Road in North Frontenac Township.
At approximately 9:40 p.m., Frontenac Ontario Provincial Police officers, along with emergency services, responded to a single-vehicle collision on Ardoch Road between Lodge Road and Crotch Lake Access Road.
According to an OPP news release sent out late Monday afternoon, a passerby noticed tire tracks on the roadway leading into the north ditch and noticed taillights from a red Ford pickup that had come to rest against a tree. With the assistance of an off-duty firefighter, the driver, who had been ejected from the vehicle, was located.
The lone occupant of the truck, Richard Allen Herns, 63, of Central Frontenac Township was pronounced dead at the scene.
OPP technical traffic collision investigators responded to the scene and are assisting with the ongoing investigation, said the release.
