BILLINGS (AP) – Musselshell County sheriff’s officials have identified the 31-year-old North Dakota woman who was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash east of Roundup.

The Billings Gazette reports that Melissa Victoria Lane of Bismarck died Wednesday after she swerved to avoid a deer on U.S. Highway 12. The Chevrolet Trailblazer she was driving went off the side of the road and rolled through a barbed wire fence.

Those injured in the wreck include five children ages 5 months to 12 years, as well as a 32-year-old man. Officials say Lane and two passengers were ejected from the vehicle. The current status of the passengers is unknown at this time.
