Butte, MT- A 38-year-old man lost his life in a vehicle accident on Tuesday afternoon, as reported by the Montana Highway Patrol. The driver was operating a Ford Taurus traveling westbound on Old US Highway 1 at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the vehicle.
According to authorities, the Taurus veered off the right side of the roadway, crossed over a culvert, and struck a rock, which caused the vehicle to roll and ultimately land on its roof. Emergency responders pronounced the driver dead at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities suspect that drugs and alcohol may have played a role in the accident.
