The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office has identified a man who was killed when his vehicle went off the road around 7:30 Monday evening near 27th and Arbor.
Sheriff Terry Wagner says witnesses reported a white SUV was traveling northbound at a high rate of speed and ran the stop sign at 27th and Arbor.
“Left the roadway and went airborne into a bean field, launching across the creek and then collided with a tree,” Wagner says. “The driver and soul occupant of the vehicle, 33 year old Christopher Gardner, was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Wagner says Gardner was not wearing a seat belt and investigators are still trying to determine what caused Gardner to leave the road.
