The county coroner has identified the 15-year-old girl killed in a fiery one-vehicle wreck on Highway 2 near Thompson Park on Thursday as Kelsi Stratford of Butte.

DNA results from the crime lab will confirm that identification, Butte-Silver Bow coroner Lee LaBreche said.

Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash, which occurred about 4 p.m. The roadway is extremely curvy.

Police said Stratford was going to Thompson Park to meet friends. She was a student at Butte High School.
