Jeremy J. Lind, 38, of Ramsey, died after his pickup skidded off the road in the 16600 block of Garnet St. NW., near Riverdale Park in Ramsey about 6:40 p.m. Sunday, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The truck hit a tree, and came to rest in a yard about 4 miles south of Lind's home, said authorities, who have yet to explain why the vehicle went off the road. He was alone in the pickup.
