A 60-year-old man from Columbia Falls died in an ATV wreck on Sunday and was identified Monday as Daniel Weber. The accident happened northwest of Whitefish, KPAX news reported. At around 2:30 p.m. the vehicle lost control while traveling 35 mph eastbound on Good Creek Road. Montana Highway Patrol said the driver over corrected, causing the ATV to exit the eastbound side of the roadway and down an embankment.
The driver and vehicle struck two trees before rotating ninety degrees crosswise and striking another tree, the TV station reported. He was pronounced the man dead at the scene. Alcohol is suspected to be a factor in the wreck, the station reported.
