The victim was taken to hospital but is not expected to survive his injuries. According to police, he may have suffered a medical event prior to the collision.

Along with extremely slippery road conditions contributing to the accident, police say the driver was not wearing his seat belt. However, due to the close proximity of the man’s home to accident, they don’t believe speed is a factor.
