Woman Killed In Crash Near Superior

Authorities have released the name of a 44-year-old Missoula woman who was killed in a one-vehicle crash on Interstate 90 near Superior over the weekend.

The Mineral County Sheriff's Office identified the victim Monday as Tamara Lemeza.

The Montana Highway Patrol says Lemeza was westbound in an SUV at 9:30 a.m. Sunday when it went off the road and overturned in the ditch. She was not wearing a seat belt and was partially ejected from the vehicle.

The woman's 13-year-old daughter was treated and released from the hospital.

Trooper Jonathan Graham says the roads were slick from ice and snow, but the crash remains under investigation.
