The Becker County Sheriff's Office has identified the man killed in a rollover crash Tuesday morning.

The driver was identified as Ethan Hjermstad, age 24, of rural Osage.

Officials say Hjermstad was ejected in a fatal rollover crash that was discovered by a passing motorist Tuesday morning.  The crash happened on County Road 123, about 3 miles south of Osage.

It appeared the crash occurred several hours before the passer-by reported it at 5:28a.m., the sheriff's office said.

When emergency crews arrived, they determined that Hjermstad was dead.  The driver was the only person in the vehicle, which apparently rolled several times, the sheriff's office said.

The crash remains under investigation.
