Montana Highway Patrol Sgt. Roman Zylawy said two Arlee men suffered minor injuries when the car crashed into Little Bitterroot Creek east of Hot Springs at about 4 a.m.
The sergeant said the driver went looking for help in below-freezing temperatures while his passengers stayed behind. A county snowplow driver came upon the scene at about 6:40 a.m. and alerted authorities.
Search and Rescue teams from Sanders and Lake counties found the driver's body Tuesday afternoon about a half mile from the accident. Authorities did not release the names or ages of the victims, but Zylawy said they all were 21 or younger.
