“The driver had no control of his vehicle in those final moments,” the Sheriff said. “He was unable to take any evasive action. It was a freak incident and a chain of events that led to this unfortunate accident. It was just a bad series of events.”
"It was sad and scary," Victoria Lopez told The Associated Press via Facebook. She and other witnesses said there are usually logs all around the arena at the Powell County Fairgrounds, but this year there wasn't one in the spot where the cars entered the arena.
Darylynne Day, the EMT who was killed, leaves behind two young children and a husband, and a go-fund-me. Her fellow EMT’s want to raise money for her family, for her children who are about to start school, to help with the newly unexpected costs that come with suddenly becoming a single parent household and funeral services.
A Line of Duty Death Memorial Procession for Day will be held Sunday, August 25, from Deer Lodge to Anaconda. The procession of ambulances and fire trucks from across the state will stage at the Powell County Fairgrounds at 11 a.m. and will leave for Anaconda at noon sharp, traveling south on Main Street. They plan to pay their respects at 1 p.m. at the Washoe Theatre and attend the funeral at 2 p.m.
Two people were treated and released, three remained hospitalized in stable condition Monday and one was flown to another hospital, Roselles said. He did not have that person's condition. A 1-year-old child was among the injured.
The first Demolition Derby in Deer Lodge was held in the fall of 1979 and it has continued since then under the sponsorship of different organizations. For the past 30 years, the Chamber of Commerce has sponsored it, without incident.
