The McKinley Sheriff's Office identify the victim as 53-year-old Leo B. Yazzie of Sacaton.
They say Yazzie was driving a pickup truck last Saturday afternoon when the right rear tire blew out and caused the vehicle to roll and then flip over.
Authorities say Yazzie was ejected from the truck and pronounced dead at the scene.
Two male passengers in the vehicle suffered non-life threatening injuries.
