Highway patrol responds to multiple crashes in county

Montana Highway Patrol officers responded to two crashes in south Lincoln County during the afternoon hours of June 21.

Sgt. Neil Duram said one wreck occurred a couple miles east of Kootenai Falls on U.S. Highway 2. A driver heading east made a left turn into a pullout and collided with another driver, who was attempting to pass her.

A few miles west of Troy, a UPS truck similarly collided with another vehicle when making a left turn.

Both wrecks resulted in minor injuries. Duram said each accident only involved two cars.
