MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) _ An Idaho man died when his truck slid off a
highway in Grand Teton National Park and rolled over.

Park officials say witnesses reported the accident around 8:30
a.m. Tuesday. The crash ejected the man from the pickup truck, and
the truck came to rest about 40 yards from the roadway south of the
Gros Ventre (grow-VAHNT') Bridge.

The park didn't immediately release the identity of the
55-year-old man from Freedom, Idaho. He died at the scene.

Park officials say rangers believe the truck slid on black ice.
A German shepherd dog in the truck was taken to a veterinarian for
evaluation and was in good condition.
