BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A pickup truck rolled on Pryor Road southeast of here Wednesday, killing two women and injuring five other people who were returning from the funeral of a man killed in a Wyoming crash, the Montana Highway Patrol said.

The accident happened around 5:15 p.m. near the intersection of Pryor Road and Highway 87 East, Highway Patrol Sgt. Clay Creek said.

The pickup was eastbound at more than 80 mph when it veered across the center line and into a ditch, sending it rolling into a field, Creek said.

Three people were ejected: the two women who were killed and a man, who was airlifted to a Billings hospital, Creek said. The man's condition was unknown.

Four other occupants also were taken to hospitals with unspecified injuries. No names were released.

The pickup was returning from the funeral of Thomas Ray "T.R." Glenn of a Wyola, who died Saturday from injuries he received in a vehicle accident, said Cedar Bulltell of Lodge Grass.

Bulltell said she is related to one of the victims, whom she identified as a 16-year-old Hardin girl.

The deaths raised Montana's highway fatality toll to 30, compared with 39 on March 8, 2005.
