A 51-year-old Pennsylvania man was killed Tuesday afternoon when the sport utility vehicle he was driving on Downsville Pike south of Hagerstown went off the road and rolled multiple times, state police said.

John Thomas Green III, who was thrown from the 2004 Toyota Highlander, was pronounced dead at the scene, Maryland State Police said in a news release.

It appears Green lived in Pittsburgh, according to police, who responded at about 1:20 p.m. He was the only person in the vehicle.

State police said Green was driving north on Downsville Pike when he went off the right side of the road prior to Rench Road. The vehicle overturned multiple times, police said.
