The St. Croix County Sheriff's Office says Timothy Hoffman, of Hudson, Wisconsin, was travelling early Saturday morning on Coulee Trail near Troy Township when his car veered off into a ditch, hit a mailbox, launched off a driveway and smashed into a tree. Hoffman was not wearing a seat belt.

Emergency crews flew Hoffman to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for treatment. He died from his injuries Sunday.

The sheriff's office says alcohol could be a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
