(West Salem) - A Salem man died early Monday morning after his vehicle left the highway, struck the front porch area of a residence and rolled over several times.

Around 1:40 AM, a 1985 Chevrolet pickup driven by 53-year old James M. Swearingen of Salem was northbound on Highway 221- Wallace Road, near milepost 10.

Police say his pickup left the roadway, struck the front porch area of a house located at 24900 Wallace Road rolling over several times and stopping in a field next to the residence.
