Man Dies After Crashing Car Into Back of Dump Truck Along Bucks County Road

A driver slammed into the back of a dump truck, spun out of control and struck a telephone pole -- dying instantly -- along a Bucks County road Wednesday morning.

Police said 30-year-old Ronald Kee Jr. of Philadelphia was driving a 2004 Saturn northbound on the 1700 block of Bustleton Pike in Upper Southampton Township around 9:45 a.m. when he crashed into a 2007 Mac tri-axle dump truck also traveling northbound.

The crash caused Kee Jr. to lose control of the vehicle and strike a telephone pole on the left side of the roadway. He was later pronounced dead at the scene by responding paramedics. The driver of the dump truck wasn't hurt.

Police continue to investigate the accident.
