A Salem man was pronounced dead on the scene of a one-vehicle crash Thursday night on the Cross Road just west of Robin Road, southeast of Salem.
The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of the family.
Coroner Claude Howell says the vehicle apparently left the roadway, struck a power pole, and then rolled several times before the driver was thrown out. The driver was the only one in the vehicle.
State Police are investigating the crash.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Department, Salem Fire Protection District, and United Medical Response also assisted at the scene.
The crash was reported at 8:49 p.m. on Thursday. State Police say Cross Road was closed for about two hours for accident investigation and cleanup.
