Colorado Man Dies In Montana Crash

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Officials in southern Montana have released the name of a Colorado man who was killed when his sport utility vehicle struck a deer.

Big Horn County Coroner Terry Bullis says 51-year-old Douglas E. Berg of Yoder, Colo., died Tuesday night after his Jeep hit a deer and veered off Highway 47 about 16 miles north of Hardin.

The Jeep went down an embankment and rolled. Bullis says Berg wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. He died at the scene.
