A Bigfork man was killed early Monday when his vehicle rolled off Montana 35 near Woods Bay.

The 39-year-old man, whose name has yet to be released, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, according to a report filed by Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Dustin Lerette.

Speed was a factor in the crash, and it is undetermined whether alcohol was involved.

The man was driving south when his vehicle drifted off the right shoulder, rolling into the ditch at mile marker 29 near Woods Bay at 12:15 a.m. The man was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle.
