CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) — A 43-year-old man was killed when his pickup truck rolled over on Interstate 15 near Toquerville. Police say his teenage son had been driving.

The Spectrum of St. George reports (http://bit.ly/1KOjgZt ) that Utah Highway Patrol identified the man killed Friday afternoon as Joseph Ryan Henrie.

UHP says the driver drifted off the road and overcorrected before the vehicle rolled at least two times.

The release says both people were wearing seatbelts and that the father was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was taken by ambulance to Dixie Regional Medical Center.

The extent of the driver's injuries was not immediately available.

UHP is investigating whether fatigued driving is to blame for the accident.
