Two people died on Tuesday morning after a pickup truck crashed off of an Interstate 90 overpass near Reed Point.
Montana Highway Patrol Sgt. JV Moody said the crash happened at about 7:30 a.m. as an eastbound Chevrolet S-10 pickup neared the Reed Point exit on I-90.
It appears that the female driver fell asleep and the pickup veered into the median, Moody said. The pickup flew off the overpass and fell nearly 20 feet to the road below.

Neither the woman who was driving nor a male passenger wore seatbelts. One was thrown from the truck while another was partially thrown during the crash and both died at the scene, Moody said.
Investigators were still working to identify the man as of 11:30 a.m., but they believe both of them are from Washington, Moody said.
Their names and ages have not been released and the crash is being investigated. One lane of eastbound I-90 near the crash scene will be closed for a short time while investigators work.
