Woman Found Gravely Injured On Flathead Indian Reservation

Lake County Sheriff's Office.

POLSON, Mont. (AP) — Four people have been arrested after a woman was found gravely injured on the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Lake County Undersheriff Ben Woods says a woman in her 20s was found unconscious near McDonald Lake in the Mission Mountains east of Charlo on Saturday morning.

Officials say it appears a vehicle was involved. The woman is hospitalized in Kalispell and officials say she is not expected to survive.

Lake County detectives, with the help of the Montana Highway Patrol and tribal police, arrested four people who are believed to be responsible for the woman's injuries. Four people were booked into the Lake County jail on Sunday, with three of them arrested on suspicion of negligent homicide.

A vehicle has been seized as evidence.

The victim's name has not been released.
