It was determined that Altamirano was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, the release said.

Altamirano was traveling south on Country Club Road when his 2008 Ford F-150 went into the dirt should and flipped, the release said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation continues.
