Sanders County crash kills elderly passenger.

(Sanders County) The Montana Highway Patrol says that a one vehicle crash in Sanders County late last week resulted in the death of a passenger.

Police says that a driver traveling west was going too fast for the snow covered road conditions, which caused it to slide into a guard rail before entering a ditch, causing the vehicle to overturn and impact a tree before coming to a rest.

MHP says that a 72-year-old passenger, a woman from Trout Creek, was killed in this accident. The driver, a 73-year-old male from the same town, was rushed to Bonner General Hospital.
