RAYBURN TWP, Armstrong County — A 56-year-old Templeton man was killed early this morning in a one-vehicle crash in central Armstrong County, state police said.

Robert A. Morrow was traveling south on River Road shortly before 12:50 a.m. when he lost control of his 2005 GMC Sierra pickup truck. Speed was likely a factor in the wreck about three miles north of Kittanning, investigators said.

The truck went off the east berm and slammed into a utility pole, police said. After hitting the pole, the pickup struck one embankment and then a second one before rolling over, landing on its wheels.

Morrow was not wearing a seat belt. Armstrong County Coroner Brian Myers pronounced him dead at 1:30 a.m.

Morrow died of severe injuries to the head, chest and stomach.

Routine toxicology tests will be conducted but no autopsy was planned, Myers said.

The road was reopened to traffic about 3:30 a.m.
