Hill County crash leaves one dead

A head-on collision at 6 p.m. Thursday on Laredo Road in Hill County killed one person.

A 1991 Chevrolet pickup truck was eastbound on Laredo Road when its driver crossed the center line into a 2001 Chevrolet pickup's path, Montana Highway Patrol reports.

The driver of the 2001 Chevy attempted to avoid the crash by driving into the eastbound lane, but a head-on collision occurred.

The FBI is the lead law enforcement agency on the crash and is conducting a death investigation, Debbie Dujanovic Bertram, FBI public affairs specialist out of the Salt Lake region in Utah, confirmed.
