The man who died in a crash on Sunday between Great Falls and Vaughn has been identified as Norman D. Harris.

Harris, 80 years old, was from Sun River, according to Cascade County Sheriff Bob Edwards.

Harris was driving a GMC Sonoma southbound on I-15, and according to the Montana Highway Patrol, was driving significantly slower than the driver of the Nissan Xterra; the Nissan rear-ended the GMC.

The GMC went off the road and rolled, partially ejecting and ultimately killing Harris.

Harris was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the MHP.

The driver of the Nissan was not injured.

The Montana Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the crash.

We do not yet know if any charges will be filed.
