Trivette, who was wearing a safety belt, was driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck west on Coolwater Drive. The accident occurred about one-quarter of a mile north of the intersection with Moncure Drive shortly before 9 p.m., said State Police Sgt. Thomas Molnar.
Speed was considered a factor in the crash, and it is still under investigation, said Molnar.
Trivette was employed as a steamfitter apprentice for R.M. Thornton. He was a member of the Steamfitters Union Local 602 of Washington, D.C., and he had been accepted by a technical school for apprenticeship training.
