Anaconda, 10/27/24 A single vehicle accident occurred Sunday afternoon involving a Subaru Legacy that resulted in the death of the driver. The vehicle was traveling northbound on S-569 when it approached a left-hand curve.
According to initial reports, the driver was unable to negotiate the curve, causing the vehicle to veer off the right side of the road. After briefly reentering the roadway, the driver overcorrected, leading the vehicle to go off the right side again. The Subaru then tripped and began to roll multiple times.
The driver was ejected from the vehicle as it rolled and sustained critical injuries. Emergency services transported the individual to a local hospital, where they were pronounced deceased.
Authorities suspect excessive speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident. The identity of the driver has been confirmed as a resident of Butte.
