A 33-year old Helena man who survived a rollover crash north of town Thursday night was then struck and killed by a passing vehicle.

Lewis and Clark County Coroner Bryan Backeberg identified the victim as Adam David Zielie.

The initial crash was reported around 10:30 p.m. on Birdseye Road near the Barrett Road intersection. Sgt. Jay Nelson of the Montana Highway Patrol said the driver overcorrected after crossing the center line and going off the road, sending the vehicle rolling back onto the street.

The driver was able to get out of the vehicle, stand up and talk to another driver, who warned him to watch out for traffic after seeing that he appeared to be uninjured.

The man then died from multiple blunt force injuries after he was struck by another vehicle at the scene, Backeberg said.

The out-of-state driver of the vehicle that struck and killed the man stopped to help and was very upset, Nelson said. Officials are still investigating the crashes, and no charges have yet been filed.

Officials have taken blood samples from both people but have no indication of whether drugs or alcohol were involved.
