One person is dead after driving their vehicle into a tree early this morning in Fort Wayne.

According to the FWPD, officers were called to the 1200 block of Kensington Blvd. at 2:31am after witnesses reported a crash between a pickup truck and a tree. When they arrived they found a man’s body sitting in the driver’s side of the vehicle, which had heavy front-end damage.
