Officials have released the name of the fatality that occurred in an off-road side-by-side crash last Wednesday in on private property north of the intersection of Sucker Creek Road and Clear Creek Road in Blaine County.

Davyd Ferfetskiy of Seattle, 12, died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash when he was partially ejected from the vehicle.

Two others were injured as a result of the crash.

The crash was reported at 4 p.m. Wednesday to Blaine County dispatch and Blaine County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene along with Montana Highway Patrol.

MHP Trooper Conor Doyle said last week that the driver of the side-by-side lost control of the vehicle. The first deputy on the scene performed CPR on Ferfetskiy, but he died of injuries prior to Doyle’s arrival around 4:40 p.m.

The other two occupants were transported to Northern Montana Hospital, he added, and no other vehicle was involved in the crash.
