Colorado Man Charged In North Dakota Crash That Killed 2 Montana Men

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A Colorado man has been charged with criminal vehicular homicide in a weekend crash in North Dakota that killed two Montana men.

Authorities say 32-year-old Dustin Jeane of Grand Junction, Colorado, was driving a pickup truck that went out of control on state Highway 1806 and rolled in the ditch about 20 miles north of Watford City shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday.

The crash killed two passengers: 28 year-old Aaron Clark, of Billings, Montana, and 32 year-old Christopher Hoiland, of Glendive, Montana.

Jeane could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Court documents don't list an attorney for him and show that his application for a public defender was denied. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 30 and could enter a plea at that time.
