A 40-year-old man died in a fatal accident off Highway 24 early Sunday morning.

The body of Jeremy Ritter, from South Dakota, was found near his vehicle off East Highway 24 at MP 339 at around 5:30 a.m. by a Colorado Parks and Wildlife official.

Colorado State Patrol believes Ritter failed to make a turn and went off the road. His vehicle rolled several times and eventually ejected him. Ritter reportedly was not wearing a seatbelt.

CSP also expects alcohol and speed to be contributing factors.
