(Shepherd) – A sixteen-year-old Shepherd teenager was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash on C.A. Road in Yellowstone County.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, the teen was driving a Ford F-150 southbound down a hill when the vehicle failed to negotiate a right-hand curve. Investigators say the truck crossed the center line and ran off the left side of the road.
The driver overcorrected, pulling the vehicle back onto the roadway before steering off the right side. A second overcorrection caused the truck to reenter the road and overturn.
The patrol reports that the teen was not wearing a seatbelt and was fully ejected from the truck during the crash. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
