GREAT FALLS — A man died two days after being injured in a one-vehicle crash in Rosebud County on Friday, December 22, 2023.
The crash happened just before 9 p.m. near the intersection of Highway 12 and Interstate 94, near the southwest end of Forsyth.
The Montana Highway Patrol reports the 77-year-old male driver of a Toyota pickup truck failed to slow down when entering a reduced-speed zone, went across the bridge deck of I-94, crossed a cattle guard, and crashed into a cobblestone building on private property.
The driver — who was the only occupant of the vehicle — was taken to a hospital in Billings and died two days later.
The person's name has not yet been released.
According to the MHP, the person was not wearing a seatbelt.
The MHP report indicates that alcohol and/or drugs were not factors in the crash, but speed may have played a role.
We will update you if we get more information.
