UPDATE: Woman killed in crash identified

GRASS RANGE — A sport utility vehicle struck a dead deer in the road, causing a rollover crash that killed a 64-year-old Grass Range woman and critically injured a 61-year-old man.

The Fergus County Coroner’s Office has identified 64-year-old Roxann Roe as the victim of Sunday morning’s fatal crash west of Grass Range. Roe was a resident of the Grass Range community.

The Montana Highway Patrol says the crash happened at about 10:20 a.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 87.

The patrol says the SUV hit the deer and the driver lost control of the vehicle, which went off the right side of the road. The SUV rolled 2 ½ times and both people were thrown from the vehicle. Trooper Pat Crisswell tells The Billings Gazette it’s not clear who was driving.

The woman died at the scene. The man was airlifted to a Billings hospital.
