A 43-year-old Butte woman on Friday morning died when a pickup truck collided into her vehicle on MT Highway 83 near Bigfork, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.

Investigators believe the motorist was heading northbound at 9:46 a.m. on Aug. 9 when she attempted to make a left turn onto Wolf Creek Ranch in an Audi A6. As the vehicle crossed the highway, a southbound Toyota Tundra crashed into the Audi, killing the driver who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver and passenger in the Tundra, both 21-year-old men from Lakeside, were transported to Logan Health with serious injuries.
