A 28-year-old woman remains in a Missoula hospital after rolling her car over on her way to Thanksgiving dinner.
The Montana Highway Patrol reports that Debra Miller was on her way to Superior for the holiday when she over-corrected on I-90, went through a fence and rolled into the ditch between the interstate and Frontage Road.
The force of the crash ejected her from her car and she and landed on Frontage Road. Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Rich Salois says she wasn't wearing a seat belt and speed and alcohol were factors in the accident.
He added that Miller remains at St. Patrick Hospital recovering from what's described as severe injuries.
