One man was killed and another injured in a single-vehicle rollover crash on Highway 212 northeast of Joliet at 2:16 a.m. Saturday, according to Montana Highway Patrol.

The passenger, Timothy Mullins, 49, from Cairo, Nebraska died in the crash, according to Carbon County Sheriff Josh McQuillan.

The crash happened around mile marker 97 on Highway 212. A 37-year-old man from Yellville, Arkansas was driving a 2016 Dodge Ram pickup southbound and failed to negotiate a left hand curve.

Mullins was pronounced dead on scene and the driver was transported to the Billings Clinic with unknown injuries.

Alcohol and speed are suspected factors in the crash, according to MHP.
