Rollover on Hwy 2 sends two to hospital

Just outside Gildford, a semitractor trailer drifted off the highway and overturned, sending its occupants to the hospital.

Miroslav, 53, and Vesna, 48, Tabakovic, of Winnipeg, Ontario, were traveling east on U.S. Highway 2 when the vehicle drifted off the highway in the ditch on the south side of the road around 4:20 p.m. Wednesday, according to a release from the Montana Highway Patrol.

The 2014 International semi and trailer tires furrowed into the soft soil and caused the vehicle to trip, overturning onto its passenger side, spilling the contents of the trailer into the ditch.

Both people were injured and were taken to Northern Montana Hospital.
