A single-vehicle rollover where the driver sustained fatal injuries happened about three miles west of Glen Ullin in the early morning hours of Sunday 10/22/2023. A white 2014 Ford F250 Super Duty was traveling west out of Glen Ullin, on Morton County Road 139, heading to a residence near the area of the crash. The pickup was driven by a 22-year-old male.

The driver was not wearing a seat belt. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. There
