PIEDMONT -- A Spearfish man died early Thursday morning in a car accident on Sidney Stage Road about one mile north of Piedmont.
Capt. Randy Hartley of the South Dakota Highway Patrol said Drew Jon Cooper, 44, was driving a 1999 Toyota RAV4 north on Sidney Stage Road around 5:25 a.m. when his vehicle left the road and entered the ditch, rolling several times.
Cooper was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger in the vehicle, Randy L. Neal, 45, of Bastrop, Texas, was seriously injured and flown by LifeFlight to Rapid City Regional Hospital.
Hartley said neither man was wearing a seat belt.
Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.
