Libertarian candidate Mike Fellows killed in car crash

HELENA (AP) — Authorities say Mike Fellows, the Libertarian Party's candidate for Montana's U.S. House seat, died in a car crash.

Missoula County sheriff's officials say Fellows, a 1976 graduate of Havre High School, died in a head-on collision with another vehicle on Montana Highway 200 Monday night.

Undersheriff Jason Johnson says Fellows was heading toward Missoula after a campaign event in Seeley Lake. He died at the scene.

A person in the other vehicle has been taken to a hospital for undisclosed injuries.

The 59-year-old Fellows was making his eighth run for U.S. House against Republican U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke and Democrat Denise Juneau.

Fellows has run in every statewide election since 1998. Besides U.S. House, he ran for Montana Supreme Court Clerk in 2012 and Secretary of State in 2000.
