    An Ohio woman has been identified as the alleged wrong-way driver in a vehicle crash near Livingston on July 10, 2024 that left 23-year-old Taylee Bornong of Bozeman in critical condition.

    Court documents filed in Park County list Jennifer Marie Lager-Fermon as the defendant in the case. She faces one count of criminal endangerment and one count of negligent vehicular assault—serious bodily injury, both felonies.

    Lager-Fermon has not yet appeared in court to be formally arraigned on the charges.

    According to the complaint, Lager-Fermon was driving a Subaru Crosstrek with Ohio plates when she struck Bornong in the westbound lanes of I-90 while driving eastbound near mile marker 328.

    The complaint states that Lager-Fermon's blood alcohol level was .279, more than three times the legal limit of .08.

    Both Lager-Fermon and Bornong were seriously injured in the crash.

    No information about the current condition of either woman is available at this time.
