No new information was available Thursday on circumstances leading to the traffic accident last week that claimed the life of Iconoclast Books owner Gary Hunt.

Blaine County authorities continue to investigate the accident to determine why Hunt lost control of his vehicle, a silver-and-gray 2003 GMC Yukon. The accident occurred around midnight Friday on state Highway 75 just north of East Fork Road. Hunt's vehicle, headed north, crossed the highway and crashed into a three-rail fence on the west side of the road.

Blaine County Coroner Russ Mikel said Hunt was pronounced dead around 4 a.m. Saturday from "multiple trauma to the abdomen and chest." Mikel had no new information Thursday.

The Blaine County Sheriff's Office had no new information to release either.
