POPLAR (AP) – A 23-year-old Poplar woman has died of injuries suffered in a single-vehicle rollover.

The Roosevelt County coroner’s says Barrie Jones died Friday morning at a hospital.

The Montana Highway Patrol says the accident happened at about 3 a.m. Friday when the SUV she was driving came to a curve and went off the road.

The vehicle went off the road sideways, hit a shallow ditch, rolled, became airborne and rolled again, landing on its tires.

The Billings Gazette reports that Jones was alone and not wearing a seat belt.

The incident remains under investigation.
