Motorist dies in rollover

CLARK FORK — A Clark Fork man was killed after being thrown from his pickup truck in a crash on Sunday morning south of town.

Stevens, who was not wearing a seat belt, was flung from his vehicle as it went off the shoulder and crashed into an embankment, according to ISP.

The occupants of the Dodge Dakota Stevens sideswiped — driver Brandon M. Gerstenberger, 22, of Sandpoint, and passenger Vincent C. Thompson, 20, of Clark Fork — were wearing seat belts and were not injured, state police said.

The crash happened at about 9:30 a.m. about four miles south of Clark Fork.
