HELENA – Authorities say a 24-year-old Ronan woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash north of Helena.

The Independent Record reports Danella Hiday was headed west on Highway 200 near the top of Rogers Pass when her car drifted off the side of the road Thursday afternoon. Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Alicia Williams says Hiday overcorrected, and her car crossed both lanes of traffic before going down a steep embankment.

Williams says Hiday, who was not wearing a seatbelt, might have been speeding at the time of the crash.
