GREAT FALLS — A man died in a two-vehicle crash in Glacier County on Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
It happened just after midnight near the intersection of Going-to-the-Sun Road and U.S. Highway 89 near the community of St. Mary.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, a 34-year-old man from Ashford, Washington, was driving west in a Honda CRV.
The MHP says he failed to negotiate a left-hand curve and went off the right side of the road. The Honda rolled several times before coming to rest in the westbound lane.
The driver — who was the only occupant — was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the MHP, and was thrown from the vehicle by the force of the crash.
He was taken to a nearby medical facility where he died due to his injuries.
His name has not been released.
The MHP says that alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash.
