Bonita Fricke, 68, from Superior died when her car rolled on Interstate 90 near Tarkio on Tuesday, August 29.

Highway Patrol Trooper Steve Spurr reported that the accident happened just before 10 a.m. near mile marker 61 just west of the Tarkio exit.

He said she was headed west on the interstate when her silver SUV drifted off the right side of the road. She over-corrected and ended up driving through the median where her car rolled over and came to a rest in the eastbound lanes.

She was ejected from her vehicle and later died at the hospital. Fricke was not wearing a seatbelt.
