A 77-year-old driver died after suffering a medical emergency and crashing into another pickup truck Thursday in Manchester, officials said.
Danny R. Coleman was driving south on Route 539 just after 1:15 p.m. when he crossed over the center line and struck another pickup on the driver’s side, Manchester police said.
His truck then veered off the road and hit a tree.
Coleman, of the Whiting section of Manchester, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 55-year-old man driving the other truck was not hurt. His passenger, a 39-year-old man, suffered minor injuries. Both are from Levittown, Pennsylvania and were wearing seat belts, police said.
The crash, which happened near milepost 26.5, closed the road for several hours.
