Jake Allmendinger, 31, a father-of-three, was killed after stepping out of the car while it slid backwards on an icy road.
A Montana police officer was killed after he was ran over by his own patrol car while attending to a stranded motorist in an icy storm.
It was then that Allmendinger left the vehicle—presumably in an effort to stop the vehicle, although this was not confirmed—before he was dragged under the chassis of the large 5,000-pound car. "Deputies Jake Allmendinger and Ryan Jern were responding in the same vehicle to a welfare check of a stranded motorist report on Fairy Lake Road in the Bridger mountain range at approximately 6 p.m.
Gootkin told the press conference that Jern had attempted to rescue Allmendinger for just short of an hour before calling for help. Allmendinger was pronounced dead after 11 p.m. He is survived by his parents Ron and Michelle Allmendinger, wife Monica, and children Bentley, Lexi and Kai.
