Excessive speed contributed to a single-vehicle crash on Roosevelt Boulevard that claimed the life of a Bridesburg man early Sunday, Philadelphia police said.
Kevin Turchi, 30, of the 2800 block of Pratt St., was driving a 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck northbound on the Boulevard at Bridge Street at 3:14 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle, which flipped several times.
