2 Dead, 3 Injured in Crash Near Lolo, Drug Use Suspected by Montana Highway Patrol
Montana Highway Patrol said drugs are suspected in the wreck that killed two Subaru occupants and injured three pickup passengers.
On Saturday afternoon, two people died and three others were injured in a head-on crash on US-93S near Lolo after a northbound Subaru crossed into the southbound lane and struck a Ford F-250.
MHP reported Tuesday that drug use is a suspected factor in the fatal collision, which occurred at mile marker 80 on US-93S.
The deceased were a 50-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman from Stevensville, both occupants of the Subaru who died at the scene or at St. Patrick's Hospital.
Three young passengers from Plummer, Idaho, aged 16, 19, and 22, were injured in the collision and transported to local hospitals for treatment.
The investigation into suspected drug involvement continues as MHP reviews the circumstances, though authorities have not released further details regarding the incident.
