The collision resulted in extensive damage to the cab of the Izuzu truck and injuries to the driver and his passenger.
The passenger was trapped in the wreckage and had to be removed by members of the St. Ann Fire Department.
He was transported to the nearby St. Ann's Bay Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
