Montana man dies in rollover in northwest North Dakota

RAY, N.D. (AP) – Law enforcement authorities say a 70-year-old Montana man died in a rollover crash Monday in northwest North Dakota.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says the man of Great Falls, Mont., was driving a semi heading southbound on Williams County Road 42 when the vehicle reached the top of a hill and failed to negotiate a curve. The semi then left the road, entered the ditch and rolled at 9:42 a.m. about 10 miles northwest of Ray.

The Highway Patrol says the man was partially ejected from the vehicle as it rolled and died from injuries sustained in the crash.

The man has not been publicly identified. Authorities say he was wearing a seat belt. The crash remains under investigation.
