Cumberland County sheriff's deputies and Standish first responders were called to the area of Richville Road near Johnson Road for a single-vehicle crash just before 10 p.m., according to a news release from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.

The truck was extensively damaged and Twigg was pronounced dead at the scene.
The road was shut down for several hours while the crash was reconstructed, the sheriff's office said. CMP responded to the area to repair the utility pole and restore power.
