The Montana Highway Patrol says a car collided with a semitrailer south of Lakeside, killing the Polson woman who was driving the car.
A death notice submitted to the Daily Inter Lake identified the victim as 27-year-old Samantha Schaff.
The patrol says Schaff was southbound on U.S. 93 Monday morning when she went into a right curve, crossed the centerline and collided with the trailer of a northbound Freightliner semi.
Schaff was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from her vehicle. She was pronounced dead at Kalispell Regional Medical Center shortly before noon.
