A one-vehicle rollover claimed the life of a Box Elder man on Friday evening.

The accident occurred on Lower Box Elder Road several miles east of Box Elder.

The Montana Highway Patrol was dispatched shortly before 9 p.m.

The vehicle was westbound when the driver entered a left-hand curve too fast.

The vehicle left the road and rolled.

The 23-year old driver, identified as Shawn Saddler, was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene.

The Montana Highway Patrol reports the road was bare and dry at the time of the rollover.

Authorities believe that alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.

The driver was the only occupant and was not wearing his seat belt.
