Missoula, MT (October 23, 2024) – Officers with the Missoula Police Department and troopers with the Montana Highway Patrol said that on Sunday, October 20, at approximately 5:05 p.m., troopers were dispatched to a three-car accident at the intersection of U.S. Highway 93 northbound and Cartage Road in Missoula County.
Through his investigation, the trooper determined that a Honda Element driven by a 47-year-old woman rear-ended a Toyota Highlander at the intersection at a high rate of speed. EMTs responded shortly thereafter, though the total number of victims hurt is unknown. The driver was later arrested for driving under the influence; at this time, however, no further details were released, and an investigation is still ongoing in the interim.
Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Injury Vehicle Collisions in Montana
Navigating the aftermath of a multi-vehicle accident in Montana presents a variety of unique challenges, one of which is the determination of liability amid the chaos of multiple drivers and potentially severe injuries. A meticulous examination of the evidence surrounding the crash and adherence to Montana’s traffic laws is necessary to determine the cause of these multi-vehicle collisions, which frequently occur as a result of a sequence of events initiated by one or more drivers.
The general complexity and complications of these multi-driver accidents often result in a higher number of liable individuals and a more difficult legal response for any victims, which adds to the overall stress and frustration of the afternoon in comparison to crashes involving only one vehicle or fewer parties. Thankfully, victims in Montana are entitled to safeguard their legal rights after a collision and can do so with the help of a seasoned lawyer.
