A crash on Interstate 90 in Belgrade left one woman dead and a man injured on Sunday, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.

The crash happened around 10:44 a.m. on Sunday according to the MHP crash report.

A 31-year-old Whitefish man driving a Toyota RAV 4 was entering I-90 westbound at mile marker 298. Due to weather conditions, he could not see a semi-truck parked on the interstate.

The report said the man rear-ended the semi with the front right of the RAV 4. His passenger, a 27-year-old Whitefish woman, died at the scene.

The man was injured and taken to Bozeman Deaconess Hospital. No further information about the extent of his injuries or current condition was available.
