GREAT FALLS — A man died in a one-vehicle crash in Valley County on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

The crash happened just after 2 p.m. near the intersection of US Highway 117 and North River Road/Tiger Butte Road, several miles south of the town of Nashua.

According to the Montana Highway Patrol, a 60-year-old man from Glasgow was driving a Ford F-350 pickup truck north on North River Road, pulling a flathead trailer with hay bales.

The truck went across the center line, hit a ditch, and ran into a barb-wire fence before coming to rest.

The MHP says that the man possibly suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash.

The driver was the only occupant of the vehicle.

Alcohol and speed were not factors in the crash; the man was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the MHP.

The name of the man has not been released.
