Salem Man Killed In Rollover Truck Crash: Police

SALEM, MA — A Salem man was killed in a rollover truck crash in the area of Highland Avenue near Ravenna Avenue and Old Village Drive Thursday night.

Police said they responded to a report of an accident involving a pickup truck and motorscooter at about 11 p.m. and found "an extensive crash scene." Police said first responders began performing life-saving measures but that Daniel Elias Lopez Temaj, 20, who was the driver of the truck, died from his injuries.

Police said a preliminary investigation determined that the truck apparently hit a guardrail, then collided with the motorscooter, which was being ridden in the same direction, and that Lopez Temaj was ejected from the truck when it rolled over.

Detectives assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division, along with the Massachusetts State Police Accident Reconstruction Team, responded to the scene and police said the crash remains under investigation.
