Man dies in accident at Bigfork restaurant
BIGFORK, Mont. — A man died Sunday morning in an accident at the Echo Lake Café parking lot in Bigfork.
According to the Montana Highway Patrol, the incident occurred just after 7:30 a.m. when the man noticed his 2007 Dodge truck and 32-foot trailer rolling across the lot.
Video evidence shows the vehicle came to a stop after hitting a utility pole and stop sign.
The man exited the café and attempted to back the vehicle away from the poles.
After leaving the truck unoccupied to walk around to the passenger side, the vehicle began to roll forward again.
As the man tried to re-enter on the driver’s side, he was pinned between the door and the vehicle, sustaining fatal injuries.
