An Orting man died Saturday afternoon in a rollover crash on state Route 162, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The man was identified as James I. Martin, 70, of Orting.
About 3 p.m. Saturday, Martin was headed east on state Route 162 at Orville Road in a 1991 Toyota Tercel. The vehicle failed to negotiate a corner and rolled over into a ditch on the westbound side of the road, according to the State Patrol.
