Victim of pickup-tanker truck crash was Coventry man

The driver who died after his pickup truck collided with a tractor-trailer last night was a 46-year-old Coventry man, the police said today.

Joseph Fogarty died at Kent County Hospital, according to the police.

Yesterday at about 7:20 p.m., the Coventry police responded to the accident near 450 Arnold Road. The police say witnesses report seeing the tractor-trailer –– which was towing 10,500 gallons of home heating oil –– driving north on Arnold Road.

A Ford Ranger pickup truck, driven by Fogarty, was traveling south on Arnold Road when it crossed the double yellow line, the police say, and collided with the tanker.

No oil was spilled from the tanker, which is registered to Parente’s Oil of Coventry.

The police are still investigating the accident.
