How did the accident happen?
The driver, operating a Ford F250, lost control of the vehicle while traveling west on Highway 212 at approximately 3:27 a.m. A 20-year-old passenger from Ekalaka was also injured in the incident and subsequently transported to a hospital in Rapid City, South Dakota. According to the Montana Highway Patrol, the truck initially veered off the right side of the road before abruptly returning to the pavement and crossing the center line. Shortly after, it veered to the right again, colliding with the ditch along the highway and ultimately overturning.
The truck came to a stop upright on its wheels.
