One person died after a Saturday evening crash in Sanders County.

The Montana Highway Patrol was called to the scene near Hot Springs at around 7:40 p.m.

A 46-year-old woman was traveling eastbound on Little Bitterroot Road with a 39-year-old female passenger.

The driver attempted to turn left on a curve, failed to maintain control of the vehicle, and rolled off the right side of the roadway.
