BLYTHE, Ga. (AP) — The Richmond County coroner says a 76-year-old man died after his truck crashed into a house.

The Augusta Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1CCab14 ) reports that Coroner Mark Bowen said Herbert Alligood Sr. died shortly before 10 p.m. Friday.

Bowen said Alligood was attempting to turn his Chevrolet pickup truck into his driveway when he lost control and ran into a house. Bowen said Alligood was wearing a seatbelt. Bowen said no other vehicles or people were involved, and alcohol was not a factor.

An autopsy was scheduled for Saturday.
