Neither vehicle had any passengers. He said the driver of the logging truck was uninjured.
Logs littered the highway at the scene of the crash, where the pickup truck had been pushed across the lane, colliding into the guardrail.
Emergency responders were dispatched to highway marker 38 on Montana 35 at about 4 p.m.
Montana Highway Patrol, Creston Fire Department, the county sheriff’s office and ambulances from Bigfork Fire Department responded.
Fredenberg said Montana Highway Patrol had not contacted the victim’s next of kin as of 5:15 p.m. on Thursday.
