A Billings man who died when his vehicle struck a city snow removal auger early Tuesday has been identified as 47-year-old Mark Hamilton.

The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the torso, said Chad Fehr, deputy Yellowstone County coroner.

The crash was reported at 12:37 a.m., according to a Billings Police Department press release from Sgt. Pat Curry.

Hamilton was headed west in his 1995 Ford Explorer and the snow removal vehicle was headed east when the two collided near the intersection of Underpass Avenue and Calhoun Lane, Curry said.
