The woman, who was 24 years old from Wellington, Colorado, was driving south on North 27th Street around 5:15 p.m. when she lost control of her Dodge Dart and collided head on with a Chevy Suburban that was traveling north on North 27th Street, according to a report from state troopers.

The Colorado woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The two occupants of the Suburban, a 39-year-old Billings man who was driving and a 37-year-old female passenger, were taken to a local hospital.
