A man died after the tractor trailer carrying logs crash Friday morning on Route 6 in Delmar Township. State police said Jason R. Kane, 46, of Clearfield, was severely injured. He was flown from the scene to Robert Packer Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
According to Investigators, Kane left the highway for some reason and struck an embankment. The impact cause the load of logs to overturn, which then caused the cab to "jerk," thrusting in into the embankment on the passenger side. The Volvo truck continued sliding until it struck a group of trees. The trailer blocked Route 6, causing it to be shut down for four hours. Troopers said Kane was not wearing a seatbelt. The crash remains under investigation, but state police said they believe the driver suffered a medical event just prior to the crash.
