A 26-year-old Whitefish man was killed early Friday morning in a single-vehicle crash on Silverbrook Drive north of Kalispell.
John David French, 26, was driving south on Silverbrook Drive at about 12:30 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a corner, lost control and crashed into the end of a guardrail on the driver’s side, according to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Department. A male passenger in the vehicle was able to free himself and walk to U.S. Highway 93 and obtain help from a passing motorist.
The Kalispell Police Department is investigating the crash.
