Early morning car crash leaves one dead

A one-car rollover motor vehicle crash resulted in one fatality early this morning.

The crash happened on Montana Secondary Highway 234 — Beaver Creek Highway — going toward Rotary Pond, Havre Fire Chief Mel Paulson said.

The Hill County Sheriff’s dispatch log reports that a call came in at 1:49 a.m. that medical was requested for a crash with four occupants and unknown injuries, with the man calling having suffered a cut to his head.

One person was declared dead on arrival and two passengers were transported to the hospital with injuries, Paulson said, adding that the cause of the crash is not yet known and Montana Highway Patrol is investigating.

One person on the scene did not require treatment, Paulson said.

Montana Highway Patrol did not have a report on the crash available for the Havre Daily News by printing deadline today, and names were not available pending notification of family.
