St. Mary's man killed in rollover

RIDGWAY A one-vehicle crash Saturday night left a St. Marys man dead.

James Robert Scott, 25, died after he was partially ejected from the truck he was riding in when it rolled over, according to state police at Ridgway. The crash took place on Saturday at 9:45 p.m. on Ketner Road in Jones Township, Elk County, police said. The 2001 Ford F-250 was westbound on Ketner when the driver, Christopher Aaron Krieg, 23, of St. Marys, lost control of the truck, according to police. The vehicle went off the road and into a ditch along the north berm before traveling back across the road and hitting a group of large stones, which caused it to roll, police said.
