The woman killed in a Highway 310 crash earlier this week was identified Wednesday as Rawlyn Strizich, a former Billings Police Department evidence clerk.
Carbon County Sheriff Josh McQuillan said Strizich was the driver in a two-vehicle crash reported at 8:15 a.m. Oct. 20 on Highway near mile marker 41.
Strizich, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was driving a Ford Fusion south on Highway 310 when she drifted into an oncoming lane and struck a northbound Kenworth truck head-on, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.
The driver of the truck, a 67-year-old man from Bridger, suffered minor injuries.
In 2018, Strizich made headlines when she was fired after stealing more than 1,000 pills collected as police evidence in more than 130 cases. She later pleaded guilty to one felony charge in connection with the case.
