HELENA - The Powell County coroner has identified two men killed in a one-vehicle rollover Tuesday night near Ovando.

They were 50-year-old Guy Riggin of Elliston and 38-year-old Kevin Marquis of Cascade. Coroner John Pohle says the men died from blunt force trauma after they were ejected from the Dodge pickup Marquis was driving. It happened about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday.

The Montana Highway Patrol said the vehicle was westbound on Highway 200, west of Ovando, when the road curved to the left and Marquis drifted off onto the right-hand shoulder. He overcorrected, crossed the center line and overcorrected again, striking a guard rail and rolling several times down an embankment.
