Former Kettle Falls man dies in Montana crash

HELENA — Authorities have identified a 36-year-old man who died in a one-vehicle crash in southwestern Montana over the weekend. The Montana Highway Patrol tells the Bozeman Daily Chronicle that Jason Titmus of Big Sky was westbound on Montana Highway 64 near Big Sky at about 11:20 p.m. Sunday when his sport utility vehicle drifted off the right side of the road. The patrol says Titmus overcorrected, the SUV crossed the center line, slid into a ditch and rolled down a steep embankment. Titmus was ejected and died at the scene. Officials say he is from Kettle Falls but had been living and working in Big Sky.
