Laurel, MT - Kevin Wilkerson Identified in Deadly Car Crash on I-90

Laurel, MT (December 31, 2024) – Yellowstone County Deputy Coroner Valerie Juhl has identified the victim of Sunday’s crash along Interstate 90 as 56-year-old Kevin Raymond Wilkerson.

MHP said that around 4:00 p.m., a semi-truck driven by a 39-year-old man was headed west when it crossed the median and went into the eastbound lane. The truck then hit a Volkswagen Rabbit, which a 19-year-old woman with a 20-year-old passenger drove.

The truck continued in the eastbound lane and hit a second car, killing the driver—now identified as Kevin Raymond Wilkerson from Laurel. The passengers in the car included an uninjured 45-year-old woman, an injured 16-year-old girl, and an uninjured 18-year-old man, all from Laurel.

Drugs, alcohol, or speed are not suspected factors in the crash, according to MHP’s report. In the interim, the inquiry is ongoing, and updates will be provided as soon as they are available.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family members of Kevin Raymond Wilkerson.
