Glacier crash fatal

KALISPELL, Mont. — The driver of a vehicle that went off Glacier National Park’s alpine highway, ejecting all five occupants, has died.

Angel Makescoldweather, 19, died within hours of suffering head injuries in the crash Friday evening, the Flathead County coroner’s office said Saturday. Her hometown was not identified.

She was driving a vehicle that went off the park’s Going to the Sun Road and down a steep slope. All four passengers were taken to hospitals.

Flathead County authorities said no seat belts were used, and it appears drinking and fast driving were factors in the crash.
