Michelle W. Parker died on the Duck Creek Road in Chouteau County in a single vehicle rollover on Thursday afternoon.
The vehicle ran off the right side of the road then went back on the road and crossed the centerline before running off the right side of the road once again.
“It was a broadside skid when it ran off the roadway the second time,” said Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Matthew Finley. “Then once it ran off the road it began to roll.”
Trooper Finley said that Parker was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected about 60 feet from the rolling vehicle.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else was in the vehicle at the time.
Trooper Finley commented that if a seatbelt had been worn, the accident definitely would have been survivable.
