Helena girl killed in 3-vehicle crash north of city

A 17-year-old Helena girl was killed and three other people were injured in a three-vehicle crash north of the city. The Montana Highway Patrol says the victim was southbound on Applegate Drive Thursday afternoon when she turned left onto Lincoln Road, into the path of a full-sized pickup pulling a fifth-wheel camp trailer. The pickup truck and camper rotated and landed on top of another passenger vehicle. The driver of that vehicle had to be extricated.
After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process

When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medical treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.

After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including informing the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, and coordinating medical bill payments. These are difficult tasks to manage when someone is dealing with severe injuries.

Her middle name was Nicole. Not Nelson?
