BILLINGS - The Montana Highway Patrol says a 4-year-old Carbon County boy and a 62-year-old Missoula man have died in separate crashes.

Authorities tell the Billings Gazette that the crashes occurred Saturday morning when snowy weather made for dangerous driving conditions.

The boy died in a collision on Highway 310 about 25 miles west of Billings near Silesia when the driver of the Nissan Pathfinder in which the boy was riding lost control and slid into oncoming traffic, where the vehicle was struck by a Ford pickup truck.

Also Saturday morning, police say the Missoula man died after the Dodge pickup truck he was in rolled into the median of Interstate 94 about five miles south of Hysham.

By 7 p.m. Saturday the Montana Highway Patrol had reported about 60 crashes. On Friday, the agency reported about 116 crashes.
