A driver was found dead inside a pickup truck that was left destroyed after it was wrapped around a tree during a crash in Woodstock Tuesday morning.
The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District and Woodstock Police Department responded around 7:51 a.m. Tuesday to the 13600 block of Kishwaukee Valley Road in Woodstock for a report of a serious crash.
Woodstock Fire/Rescue District Public Information Officer Alex Vucha said fire crews arrived within minutes and located a heavily damaged pickup truck.
The truck was off the roadway and wrapped around a tree in the yard of a residence.
Paramedics quickly determined the adult male driver had died from his injuries, Vucha said.
The male driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
