A Saint Marie man died Wednesday when a semi-truck collided with the sedan in which he was riding.
The crash occurred at an intersection east of Glasgow, according to a statement from Montana Highway Patrol, and resulted in one other man being hospitalized. Although overall fatalities are down this year when compared to 2024, last month was exceptionally deadly for Montana drivers.
On Wednesday afternoon, the 20-year-old Saint Marie man was a passenger in a Pontiac sedan. At the wheel was an 18-year-old man from Glasgow. The two were traveling south on Montana Highway 24. When they reached the intersection at U.S. Route 2, according to MHP, the driver failed to yield to traffic.
The Pontiac rolled into the path of an eastbound semi-truck, which struck the sedan on its passenger side. Em
