    A 55-year-old man died in a single-vehicle crash in near Amity early Monday, according to the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office said.

    A preliminary investigation determined Richard Howard of Amity was not wearing a seatbelt when he drove a 2007 Hyundai SUV off the roadway in the 6800 block of SE Eola Hills Road at about 2 a.m. and struck a tree, the sheriff's office said.

    Investigators found that alcohol impairment and speed contributed to the crash.

    Howard was pronounced dead at the scene.
