A man who died from injuries sustained after an alleged drunk driver crashed into his bedroom late Saturday night has been identified as Robert Dale Meier, 59, of Kalispell.

Meier was asleep in a bedroom at his Rocky Cliff Drive residence when an eastbound 2011 Chevrolet Silverado reportedly failed to negotiate a curve and drove off the roadway, striking the house and entering the bedroom, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.

Meier was transported to Kalispell Regional Medical Center where he died of his injuries.

The driver, 20-year-old Thomas Owen Lefevre of Tucson, Arizona, was not wearing his seatbelt and had non-life threatening injuries. Lefevre was booked into Flathead County Jail on a charge of felony vehicular homicide while under the influence.

The victim’s body was sent to the Montana State Crime Lab for further investigation. Montana Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.
