The vehicle rolled an undetermined amount of times ejecting the unrestrained driver.
The unrestrained driver has been identified as a 39 year old male from Aurora, CO. The male driver sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene by the Douglas County Coroner. The name of the driver is being with held due to next of kin notification.
