A 38-year-old Dickinson man is dead following a rollover crash Friday morning in Dunn County. Troopers say Agbor Echum had been headed south on Highway 8, four miles north of Halliday, when he apparently lost control of his 2003 International Harvester truck. The truck strayed onto the west shoulder before regaining the road, at which point it rolled and Echum was thrown from the vehicle; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A report from the North Dakota Highway Patrol indicates Echum was not wearing a seatbelt.

Both crashes remain under investigation by the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
