A 62-year-old Stillwater man died after crashing his pickup Wednesday morning in Oak Park Heights.

The man was driving south on Stillwater Boulevard, just south of 55th Street, around 9:15 a.m. when his black 2019 F-150 pickup struck the center median, knocked over a few signs and then went into a ditch on the west side of the roadway, said Sgt. Brian Zwach of the Oak Park Heights Police Department. He was wearing a seatbelt.

Emergency personnel attempted CPR and other life-saving measures, but the man, whose name is being withheld pending family notification, was pronounced dead on scene, Zwach said.

It is believed that he suffered a medical emergency before the crash. There were no signs of trauma.

A number of witnesses called 911 to report the accident; officials also received a crash-notification alert from the vehicle, Zwach said.

Lakeview EMS, Lake Elmo Fire Department, Bayport Fire Department, Bayport Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
