A 30-year-old man died after being thrown while standing on a “large abandoned deck” that a truck was pulling at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, according to a Montana Highway Patrol dispatcher.
The incident occurred in Culbertson near the intersection of Wheatland Drive and Zedar Street. The truck was traveling on Zedar Street when it struck a curb, throwing the man from the deck, which was previously attached to a mobile home.
The 40-year-old driver continued down the street, then stopped, detached the deck, left the scene and returned about an hour later.
Alcohol was a factor in the incident.
The men, both from Arizona, found the deck and chained it up to a truck without wheels or a trailer. The deck was dragged less than 200 feet.
No charges have been filed. The incident is still under investigation.
