Authorities have identified the woman who died from injuries suffered in a crash on Interstate 15 on Thursday evening.

The Cascade County Sheriff/Coroner’s Office identified the victim as 37-year-old Stacy L. Carrier of Great Falls.

Carrier was one of two people ejected from a passenger vehicle that collided with a semi-truck when it was exiting north onto I-15 Thursday just before 6 p.m., according to the Montana Highway Patrol. The male in the car was sent to the hospital as well.
