SOUTH HUNTINGDON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) - A man is dead after crashing into a tree in South Huntingdon Township. 

The coroner said 40-year-old Brandon Detman was driving a Ford Fusion on Sherbondy Road Saturday night when he failed to negotiate a curve, crossed the road and hit a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Speed is believed to be a factor and Detman wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the time, the coroner said. 

The cause of death was ruled blunt force injuries due to a single-vehicle collision. 

The coroner said it's unknown if cell phone use was a factor in the crash. Toxicology results won't be available for several weeks.
