Ashland, MT (September 9, 2024) – Montana Highway Patrol troopers have released more information about a crash that left one person dead on Highway 212 on Saturday, September 7.
MHP said the crash occurred at 11:15 p.m. on Saturday night at mile marker 56 near Ashland. According to MHP’s report, a man from Louisiana was driving a Dodge Ram 1500 with one passenger westbound when he hit a pedestrian.
The man killed was a 50-year-old from Faith, South Dakota, but his full identity was not released at this time. He was pronounced dead at the time MHP arrived at the scene. The two people in the truck were both wearing their seatbelts and were uninjured in the crash, MHP added.

We offer our sincere condolences to the deceased victim’s family.
Pedestrian Deaths in Montana
One of the measures that pedestrians can take to ensure their safety on our streets is to walk at a constant, rapid pace, avoid congested areas, and use crosswalks instead of jaywalking. However, it is unfortunate that even the most circumspect pedestrian may suffer injuries as a consequence of a negligent driver. Even more detrimental, pedestrian accidents arise when a driver disregards the safety of others. Additionally, these incidents frequently lead to severe injuries and even fatalities, as pedestrians lack the protection that motorists who operate motor vehicles do.
