PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) - Police say a 60-year-old man has died after he crashed his car into a Prescott Valley canyon.

KSAZ-TV reports that Frank Heischman was killed Sunday when his car went airborne more than 100 feet before crashing into a canyon off SR 69.

According to a police report, witnesses told police that they saw Heischman speeding before his car veered off the roadway.

There were no skid marks found at the scene and investigators say they don't know why his car left the road.

No further information was available.
