Colorado National Monument park rangers pulled a vehicle out of the east hill of the Monument on Tuesday.
The driver, a 30-year-old man, was the only occupant of the vehicle and died in the crash, Monument officials confirmed.
A hiker first saw the crashed vehicle at about 11:45 a.m. on Monday and notified park rangers immediately.
Park rangers were able to get to the wreckage on foot, Colorado National Monument spokesperson Arlene Jackson said.
She said the speed limit during the stretch where the vehicle went over is 25 miles per hour. A preliminary investigation indicates that the crash may have occurred Sunday night and that speed was a factor.
