CINNAMINSON, N.J. (WPVI) -- Police say a motorist was killed after losing control of a pickup truck and hitting a tree in Cinnaminson.

It happened at 4:45 a.m. Tuesday on Riverton Road near Chatham Court.

Video from Chopper 6 HD showed a dark colored pickup truck which appeared to have hit the tree head-on.

Police and fire department crews were on the scene.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

There was no immediate word what may have caused the driver to lose control.  Judging from the area where this accident occurred and from the tree collision, most likely he was a drunk driver, as most of the drunk driving accidents occur in the A.M. hours.

Riverton Road was shut down in both directions as crews worked to remove the pickup truck.
