Dsiyahn Whitmore of Buena Vista Pike died at the scene of the crash that occurred in front of 500 Main Street.
According to the preliminary investigation, the tanker truck had partially passed the driveway of the market at 500 Main Street just before 8:30 p.m. when Whitmore rode out of the market parking lot onto Main Street and crashed into the rear passenger side of the tanker truck.
