The Alexander County man killed in a car crash early Sunday morning has been identified.

State Police say 38-year old Jason Klein from Olive Branch was driving a 2002 Ford pickup truck south on Route 3 when he lost control.
The truck hit a guardrail and rolled several times, and Klein was thrown from the vehicle. Investigators say he was pronounced dead at the scene, and that alcohol likely played a role in the crash.
