GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - Officials in central Montana have released the name of the Georgia truck driver who died in a fiery crash last week.

Judith Basin County Coroner Dick Brown tells the Great Falls Tribune that 39-year-old Teresa Dishmond of Waynesboro, Ga., was killed Friday morning in a collision on U.S. Highway 87 near Windham.

The Montana Highway Patrol says Dishmond was driving a semi tractor-trailer that was sideswiped by a commercial vehicle. The semi jack-knifed and caught fire. A 37-year-old Georgia man who was in the truck was unable to rescue Dishmond.
