A Yellowstone County sheriff's deputy was killed Friday morning in a one-vehicle accident on Interstate 90 while responding to a call for backup from another deputy. Deputy David Briese, 38, died following the accident that happened at about 10:25 a.m. when his eastbound patrol car went off the right shoulder of the highway just east of the King Avenue West on-ramp. The patrol car went down a grass bank, through a wood fence and struck a large metal post at a sign on the RDO Equipment Co. property. David was survived by his wife, two sons and a step-daughter. He'll be greatly missed.
