A 42-year-old man died Friday night in a one-car crash west of Philipsburg, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.
The man, a Philipsburg resident, was traveling east on Highway 348 toward town at 7:40 p.m. when he drifted off the right side of the road, hit a guardrail, overcorrected, then ran off the left side of the highway, according to the highway patrol.
The vehicle, a 1987 Jeep, rolled over and landed on the passenger side. The driver was partially ejected, and he died at the scene, according to troopers.
The man was not wearing a seat belt, and alcohol is a suspected factor, according to a Montana Highway Patrol report.
