Highway 212 Collision between Laurel and Silesia

About five miles south of Laurel on highway 212, an accident occurred early Saturday morning where a woman died and two people were injured.

According to Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Richard Starks the two vehicles collided at about 9:20 a.m. It is reported that 64- year old man from the Silesia area, was driving a Ford Explorer and lost control on the icy road thereby hitting a Mazda pickup.

There were two people in the Mazda pickup, 70 year old Worland man and his 71 year old wife who died on the accident spot.

Starks said that the woman didn't get any traumatic injuries and didn't die of any underlying medical condition. Both the drivers were taken to the Billings Hospital by ambulance.

What was responsible for the collision is still not known as alcohol and speed were not the factors according to Starks. Eye Witnesses also reported that both the vehicles were driving at an appropriate speed of 45 to 50 mph at the time of the accident. The southbound lane was blocked for around two and half hours but it was reopened at about 11:45 a.m.

"My name is Sara D. Fein, and I would like to share with Solomon Neuhardt’s potential clients why I choose Sol every time. To begin with, I come from a family of lawyers, so my experience with lawyers has all been family and exemplary and extremely positive. Sol represented me in 2002. Sol was the best thing that ever happened to me. He went way above and beyond what I would anticipate from an attorney. On March 17, 2009, I was in a devastating car accident. I called Sol from the scene and he has since diligently represented me, taking care of lost wages, medical bills and every worry that could possible come up. I have had several attorneys within a family law case and Sol is the most organized, efficient and active attorney of them all. If he says something is handled, it is. I refer to Sol as my good attorney. I am so grateful for him and everything he has ever helped me with. I owe him for life for the superb professionalism he and his excellent staff have graced me with. When it comes to my accident, Sol and his staff take care of every minute detail and they still are. I recommend Solomon Neuhardt to anyone with a personal injury case. Sol really listens, really cares and most importantly, always gets the job done."
