A 25-year-old Oley Township man was killed in a one-car crash in Richmond Township on Friday night, officials said.
The man, whose name was not released, was driving north in the 1000 block Richmond Road near the Mennonite school shortly before midnight and struck a tree head-on, according to Fleetwood police, who provide coverage in the township.
The man was partially thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead by EMS personnel from Life Lion, police said.
Police said he was not wearing a seat belt and that speed may have been a significant factor in the crash.
Northern Berks Regional police also responded as did the Walnuttown Fire Company and fire police from the Walnuttown and Fleetwood fire companies.
Police said an investigation continues.
