A 64-year-old Kansas City man was killed early Sunday when his southbound vehicle crashed into the front porch of a house in the 7200 block of Chestnut Avenue, police said.

The victim was identified as John Turner. Officers responded to the wreck just after 1 a.m. It appeared that Turner lost control when he tried to maneuver a curve. The vehicle drove through two yards and collided into the front porch of a residence.

Turner was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
