Missoula, Montana — Around 3:00 pm Sunday afternoon (8/28/16) deputies responded with Rural Fire and Highway Patrol to a small single engine plane that crashed near the Rock Creek exit of Interstate 90.

The incident required at least one lane of eastbound traffic to be closed while first responders worked the scene.

The two occupants of the plane did not survive the crash.

52-year-old Darrell Ward of The History Channel’s ‘Ice Road Truckers’, was named as a victim.

Ward had just left The Great American Truck Show in Dallas, Texas where he enjoyed meeting numerous fans and friends and was heading to Missoula to begin filming a pilot for his new documentary style show involving the recovery of plane wrecks when he and his co-pilot crashed and lost their lives.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
