An 18-year old Harrisburg man was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Arsenal Boulevard on Monday. The 3:30 p.m. accident may have been caused by wet road conditions, authorities believe. The man’s 2000 Ford Taurus apparently left the roadway and hit a guardrail before striking a tree along the side of the road. Sources say that no other vehicles were involved in the accident and no one else was in the car at the time of the crash.
Police troopers are investigating a fatal car crash along Interstate 5 south of the Harrisburg interchange that left one man dead.
According to Senior Trooper Russell Decker, shortly before 2:00 p.m. Friday, a 1995 Toyota pickup driven by 49 year-old Keith Wayne Tiller was driving south on Interstate 5 alongside a 2005 Toyota Prius driven by 61 year-old Dianne Dugaw near milepost 209. The pickup truck was in the left passing lane when the Prius drifted to the right and brushed the left side of the car. The pickup then careened off the right side of the freeway, traveling through the grass shoulder, and crashing into a tree about 35 feet west of the roadway.
Witnesses that were following Tiller for several miles saw no problems before the pickup drifted to the right, with no attempt to stop before crashing. Tiller was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a seat belt and the airbag deployed, police say.
Dugaw was not injured in the crash.
