Justin R. Flores, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Allen County Coroner's Office, according to the Lima post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Flores drove north on state Route 65 in Monroe Township, in northern Allen County, in his 2001 Fort F-150 truck. The truck traveled off the right side of the road, striking a guard rail and then a river bank before coming to rest.
Flores was partially ejected, as he was not wearing a seat belt, according to the highway patrol.

The accident remains under investigation.
