Man dies after crashing ATV

MISSOULA — Authorities say a 74-year-old Trout Creek man died after crashing his all-terrain vehicle on a Forest Service road near Taft.

The Missoulian reports Glenn Smith was riding with two Noxon men and his son, also from Trout Creek, when he crashed a couple of miles north of Interstate 90 on Wednesday.

Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Steve Gaston says Smith, who was not wearing a helmet, went up an embankment, fell off the ATV, rolled down across the road and hit his head on a rock.

Smith was taken to a hospital in Superior before he was airlifted to Missoula, where he died Thursday.
