Yellowstone County Coroner Cliff Mahoney on Monday identified 47-year-old Wade James Grambois of Billings as the man who died in a crash on Friday.

The crash happened at the intersection of Lewis Avenue and 6th Street West.

Police said a pickup truck driven by 21-year-old Klay Wacker of Hardin collided with a minivan driven by Grambois, who died at the scene.

Wacker was arrested later Friday on a charge of vehicular homicide while under the influence.
