Truck crash kills Havre woman

A tractor-trailer rollover north of Havre Saturday left a Havre woman dead and a Havre man treated for minor injuries, the Montana Highway Patrol reports.

Monica Badgley Campbell, 40, a passenger in the truck, was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash at 4:30 p.m. after she was extracted from the wrecked vehicle.

Alan Jeorge Campbell, 42, was treated for minor injuries caused during the crash, the Highway Patrol report says.

The crash occurred about 1:20 p.m. when Alan Campbell began to steer the 1996 Peterbilt he was driving, carrying pesticides, around a curve on State Secondary Highway 232. The load in the trailer shifted to one side while he was turning the vehicle, causing it to roll over onto the passenger side.

The truck went into the ditch on the northbound side of the road, and came to rest upside down.

The road was blocked while the area was checked for chemical spills. None were detected, the Highway Patrol reports.

Neither of the crash victims were wearing seat belts, the Patrol says.
