GREAT FALLS — A 75-year old man died in a one-vehicle rollover crash in Stillwater County on Thursday, Augusut 15, 2024.
The crash happened at about 6:35 p.m. along Secondary Highway 419, about three miles east of Nye.
The Montana Highway Patrol says the man was driving a Dodge pickup truck south on the highway at mile marker 17.4 when he failed to negotiate a curve.
The driver over-corrected, crossing the center line, and the vehicle went off the side of the road.
The driver then veered to the right and the vehicle began to rotate, tripping on a paved portion of the road, causing it to roll several times.
The man, reported to be from the community of Fishtail, died at the scene; his name has not been released at this point.
He was the only occupant of the vehicle.
The MHP says the man was wearing a seatbelt, and that alcohol, drugs, and/or speed were not factors in the crash.
