A fire station in Bivalve was nearly struck by a pickup truck Monday.

For unknown reasons, a 2001 Dodge truck veered off Nanticoke Road, struck metal bollards and caught fire, according to a release from the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office.

The truck stopped feet away from The Westside Volunteer Fire Department. Once the flames were extinguished, a sole occupant was found deceased inside the wreckage.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Maryland State Police Crash Team.
