According to Montana Highway Patrol reports, Galuska was riding
in a 2000 Jeep Wrangler driven by Daniel Schlueter, 20 of Chaska. The vehicle

off-ramp and the top came off. Galuska and another passenger, Coryann Ehlen,
20, of Excelsior Minn.
were ejected.

Ehlen was taken to Holy Rosary Healthcare in Miles
City where she was treated and
released. Schlueter, who was wearing a seatbelt, was flown to Billings Clinic,
where he is in good condition. Galuska was flown to St. Vincent Healthcare
where she died later in the day.

Mass of Christian burial was Wednesday, July 23, 11 a.m. at St. Hubert
Catholic Community, 8201 Main Street,

was at St. Hubert’s Catholic
