Crash kills Havre woman

A 24-year-old Havre woman was killed early this morning in a one-vehicle rollover about four miles south of town on Beaver Creek Road. The name of the victim is being withheld pending notification of her family. The Montana Highway Patrol crash report says the woman was driving a 2001 GMC Sierra pickup north on Montana Highway 234 at 2:30 a.m. when she went off the road on a curve. The vehicle went into the ditch and hit an approach, flipping at least three times and landed on its wheels. The driver, who was alone in the vehicle and was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the pickup. She was taken to Northern Montana Hospital, then transferred to Benefis Hospital in Great Falls. The woman died while at Benefis. The Highway Patrol reports that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, which occurred on wet and snowy roads. It is unknown whether speed was a factor.
