A Kalispell woman reportedly on her way to work was killed Friday morning in a two car accident near Bad Rock Canyon.

Paulette Kaderli, 46, was eastbound on U.S. 2 near the House of Mystery at 7:41 a.m. when she lost control of her car and slid sideways into oncoming traffic, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.

A 1983 Chevrolet Blazer traveling westbound struck Kaderli's 1990 Volkswagon Fox on the passenger side.

She was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Flathead County coroners.

The driver of the Blazer, who suffered minor injuries, was taken to Kalispell Regional Medical Center by private vehicle. Kaderli and the other driver were the only occupants in their respective vehicles.

Icy road conditions contributed to the accident, according to the Highway Patrol.

Kaderli's death is the first traffic-related fatality in Flathead County this year.

There were 25 traffic fatalities in Flathead County in 2007.
