Officers say the Ford was headed west on Pine at about midnight at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at the "T" intersection of Pine and Gilcrease Museum Road.  EMSA paramedics pronounced James Myrvang dead at the scene. Police also believe alcohol played a part in the crash. 
The man was alone in the vehicle, and he failed to stop at a T-interection and crashed into a rock wall. Authorities suspect drugs or alcohol and high speed are to blame for the crash.
