In a bizarre chain of events a couple died in a car crash in Montana last Thursday. The husband and wife were driving in 2 separate cars with the wife following the husband.

Initally, the man crashed his vehicle on Montana Highway 2 and rolled it to the opening of the Rockin' the Rivers concert venue. His wife, who had been driving behind him, then pulled her vehicle onto the shoulder of the highway. Her husband then got out of his truck at which time the woman flashed her headlights at oncoming traffic. She was outside of her vehicle while flashing her headlights as she tried to warn the driver of an oncoming vehicle that her husband was on the highway. Although that action was well intended, the flashing lights actually distracted the oncoming vehicle.

Patrol Caption Tom Butler said "We may never know what exactly happened next, but as far as we can tell, the wife was standing next to her car flashing the lights through the window. She must have realized (the driver) didn't see her husband, and we believe she dove to knock her husband out of the way (of the oncoming vehicle), and both of them were struck." The couple are dead.
