DICKINSON COUNTY -- The Dickinson County Sheriff's Department says that alcohol and lack of seat belt usage are possible factors in a rollover crash that claimed the life of a 65-year-old Ishpeming man.

Joseph St. Andre, 65, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash at the intersection of Dickinson County Road 581 and Aimone Road.  A 49-year-old passenger from Ralph was not injured in the crash.

The vehicle, a 2003 Ford Truck, was found by a group of people on four-wheelers.  According the the sheriff's department, the truck was travelling north on County Road 581 when the driver lost control and hit the ditch.  After hitting the ditch, the vehicle rolled and came to rest on its roof.

The people who discovered the crash helped the uninjured passenger get out of the vehicle.

The crash remains under investigation.
