A Chicora man died in a vehicle crash Saturday in Armstrong County, according to officials.

Armstrong County Coroner Brian K. Myers released information about the crash that killed Jamie T. Pyle, 51, of Chicora.

Myers said around 10 p.m. Saturday, Pyle was driving east on Route 68 in Bradys Bend Township, Armstrong County, when his Jeep Wrangler veered across the road, hit an embankment and rolled multiple times.

Myers said Pyle, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle.

Armstrong County Deputy Coroner Timothy S. Graham pronounced Pyle dead at the scene with the cause later determined as blunt force trauma to the head and torso.

Myers said alcohol and speed are being considered as factors; however, toxicology results will not be available for several weeks.

Assisting at the scene were state police and Sugarcreek Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance services.
