BUTTE — Officials in Jefferson County have released the name of a 20-year-old Canadian man who died last week in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 15 near north of Butte.
The sheriff’s department tells The Montana Standard that Samuel Kenton Williams of Stand Off, British Columbia, died in the crash last Thursday.
The Montana Highway Patrol says Williams was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes just before 3 a.m. when he lost control of his car. It struck a concrete median and overturned.
His passenger, a 15-year-old boy from Arizona, was injured.
