A truck rolled on I-90 early Friday morning on August 19. The driver, an 86-year old woman, was heading east when she was temporarily blinded by the morning sun. She drifted into the median and, realizing this, over corrected her vehicle and flipped and rolled her vehicle.
The accident was one mile east of Tarkio near mile marker 63.
Frenchtown Fire Department responded to the incident, followed by the Montana Highway Patrol. Trooper Timothy Templeton responded to the accident and found the woman getting out of the vehicle. Neither the woman nor her dog were injured.
Templeton said she was wearing her seatbelt, and it probably saved her life.
