“As [his truck] came into a curve, it ran off the right side of the road, struck a ditch and then a tree. The impact with the tree caused the pickup to overturn and the driver to be ejected from the vehicle,” she said.

Geller said Baldwin was not wearing his seatbelt.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, she said. State Trooper B.J. Hylton is investigating the crash.
