A man died by suicide after he was involved in a wreck off Andrews Road on Monday afternoon.

The Highway Patrol and firefighters were called to a single-vehicle wreck on Farmers Road, just off Andrews Road, around noon, Cumberland County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Sean Swain said. They arrived and found a gray passenger sedan in a ditch.

Swain said firefighters attempted to talk with the driver, but had difficulty talking with him. "There was a problem," Swain said.

He did not elaborate further.

Deputies were dispatched to the scene to help the trooper and firefighters. Swain said when the trooper and deputies approached the driver, the driver shot himself.

The man, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, died from his gunshot wound.

Swain said Farmers Road will remain closed while the Highway Patrol investigates the wreck and the Sheriff's Office investigates the shooting.
