BLANDING, Utah (AP) -- A vehicle rollover in southern Utah killed a young Georgia man who was a seasonal worker for the National Park Service.

The Utah Highway Patrol says 24-year-old passenger Kirby Yocum was not wearing a seat belt when the driver of the Toyota Land Cruiser lost control, near Blanding.

Yocum was one of four people in the vehicle. Two of the four were ejected on state highway 95, a few hours before dawn today.

Yocum collected fees at Halls Crossing, part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. His goal was to become a park ranger.
