A 25-year-old Redmond man was killed early Sunday morning in a single-vehicle crash six miles west of Madras.

According to a news release, Damien Philip Plazola was driving a 1988 Toyota Corolla west on U.S. Highway 26 when the car went off the highway.

Plazola overcorrected and the car rolled several times across the road before landing on its wheels off the highway.

Plazola wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Oregon State Police are investigating the crash, in which alcohol was a possible factor.
