The Montana Highway Patrol reported that the crash took place after 3 p.m. on I-15 between Boulder and Jefferson City. The driver, a 36-year-old man from Helena, was headed north in a Ford F-250 with two young girls, 4 and 2 years old. The vehicle veered off the road's left side while passing slower traffic and collided with the guardrail after re-entering the road, causing it to roll.
