BOZEMAN – A 55-year-old Missoula man died in a single-vehicle rollover crash on I-90 early Sunday morning, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.
MHP dispatch reports receiving the call around midnight Sunday. The incident occurred at mile marker 293 on the westbound side of I-90.
According to the MHP, road conditions were icy and slick. A man driving a Toyota 4Runner was traveling westbound on I-90 as he crossed a slick bridge deck.
The man lost traction and swerved across lanes, going off of the left side of the road. The man overcorrected right and entered a broadside skid as he entered the median.
The vehicle rolled several times, ejecting the man and his passenger, a 46-year-old Butte woman. Neither was wearing seatbelts, according to MHP.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the woman was transported to Bozeman Deaconess Hospital with minor injuries.
The names of the driver and the passenger have not been released and it is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.
The MHP reports that this incident is the 25th fatal crash this year.
