DILLON — A 22-year-old Dillon man was killed on Sunday, July 5, after the vehicle he was driving left the road as he attempted to pass another.
According to a Montana Highway Patrol report, the man was traveling southbound on I-15 near mile marker 85 and attempted to pass a vehicle in the driving lane. The pickup he was driving then left the roadway, causing him to overcorrect and skid.
The vehicle collided with a guardrail, which ripped the driver's side door open, and the man was ejected. He was reportedly not wearing a seat belt.
The driver was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead. MHP reported that alcohol, drugs, and speed were not factors in the crash.
