We all know the road conditions during the winter. Please slow down, and move over for our first responders. Help make sure they make it home to their families.
Thank you MHP, local Sheriffs department, volunteer fire department, EMTs and Montana Towing’s dedicated personnel who did their best that night to be there for people when they needed them.
⚠️⚠️UPDATE⚠️⚠️
According to the preliminary investigation, seven vehicles including two commercial motor vehicles, three passenger vehicles and two wreckers were involved in the incident. Six individuals were transported by ambulance to Missoula hospitals with serious injuries.
A westbound commercial vehicle was traveling too fast for conditions and collided with the dividing concrete barrier causing the vehicle to travel into the eastbound lanes where other vehicles collided with it. The two wreckers that were hit were already at this location stopped at another crash. These are preliminary findings as the investigation is ongoing.
Traffic is now flowing slowly in both directions. I-90 is expected to be completely open within the hour.
