A 53-year-old man from Billings was reportedly driving along a right-hand curve when he drifted to the left into the median. The MHP crash report states the man continued driving eastbound in the median for quite a distance before colliding with a pillar underneath a bridge deck.

The man was ejected from the vehicle before the vehicle caught fire.

Speed, alcohol, and drugs are suspected, according to the report.
