Cote, driving a northbound pickup truck, was trying to pass another vehicle at the time of the crash, police said. But he returned to his lane too quickly and clipped the front of the vehicle he was passing, according to investigators.

Cote's truck rolled over and he was thrown from it. He was not wearing a seatbelt, police said.
