The Friday Evening Crash on Peter Scott Road
Deputies went to the scene at about 5:30 p.m., the sheriff's office said. Deputies said Lovins was headed north in a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, on a stretch of Peter Scott Road south of its intersection with Sutton Road. Deputies said the pickup left the road on its west side and hit a tree.
The sheriff's office said Lovins was alone in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Crews from Menter Ambulance and the Phoenix Volunteer Fire Department also helped at the crash site.
Where the Sheriff's Office Review Stands
The Oswego County Sheriff's Office said the crash remains under investigation. The office shared details in a news release on Saturday. No further information about the investigation has been released.
Police usually wait to release the names of the people involved until their families have been told. That is why names often come out a day or more later.
