BUTTE - A 20-year-old Butte woman was killed and two people were injured in a one-vehicle rollover on Interstate 90 near Whitehall.

Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Francine Janik says the victim was ejected from the Chevy pickup truck and it rolled on her. A man and a girl were injured. Their names were being withheld until family members could be notified.

Janik says the truck was westbound at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it crossed the median into the eastbound lanes and rolled into a fence on private property.
