MINERAL COUNTY - A one-vehicle rollover occurred early Friday afternoon on Montana highway 135 that resulted in injuries to two men and a dog.

Montana Highway Patrol Officer Jonathan Graham stated the vehicle, a white Chevrolet truck, was hauling a trailer, and was  going too fast around the curve when the trailer began to swerve and caused the vehicle to roll over.

The two men in the truck both suffered injuries and were transported to Mineral Community Hospital. One witness even indicated that a labrador retriever dog also suffered injuries in the crash.

The rollover caused blockage on the highway and halted traffic. Schobert's Towing of St. Regis hauled the vehicle and trailer from the scene.
