PROWERS COUNTY, COLO. -- Colorado State troopers said a Florida man died in eastern Colorado Tuesday afternoon when he overcorrected after drifting off the highway.
According to troopers, 29-year-old Lance Brooks from Key West, Fla. overcorrected his 2006 Chevrolet pickup truck after drifting off the right side of Highway 385 near mile marker 102 in Prowers County around 4:50 p.m. Tuesday. The truck then swerved left, rotated, went off the left side of the road and rolled twice.
Brooks was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the truck. He was taken to Prowers Medical Center, where he died.
Troopers are still investigating the cause of the crash but said it doesn't appear Brooks had alcohol or drugs in his system at the time.
