Wider weather episode

A 31-year-old Miles City woman died in Rosebud County after she was rear-ended while slowing for a crash in front of her. The fatal crash occurred east of the town of Rosebud on I-94 west of mile marker 108 at about 11:04 a.m.. The woman was driving a sedan and slowed after the passenger car in front of her went off the road, hit a guardrail on the left side of the road and then spun back across a lane of traffic in front of her in the right lane. That crash produced a large cloud of snow and other debris which greatly limited visibility behind it. After the woman's car slowed for the crash ahead, she was rear-ended by an SUV driving behind her, sending her vehicle into the guardrail on the right side of the road. The woman was not wearing a seat belt and the collision ejected her out of the car.
