DUCHESNE, Utah (AP) — Authorities have identified an eastern Utah man who died after he apparently crawled onto the roof of a moving Jeep and then fell to the ground.

Duchesne County sheriff's officials say 24-year-old Myton resident Anton Langley died in the incident Saturday morning.

Officials say they don't know why Langley got out of the backseat of the Jeep Cherokee and tried to get on the roof. Driver Braxton Argyle says he was slowing down as he approached an intersection when he saw Langley fall.

Argyle says he tried to help his friend while they waited for paramedics, but Langley later died at Uintah Basin Medical Center.

The 28-year-old Argyle was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
