A vehicle plowed into a man near Wagner’s Home Furnishings on South West Higgins Today, April 28. Missoula Police Public Information Officer Travis Welsh gave this report shortly after the incident.

"About 1:03 p.m. this afternoon, Missoula Police and EMS were dispatched to a vehicle vs. pedestrian accident at the intersection of Stephens and South West Higgins," Welsh reported. "We were told that there was a man down, having been struck by the car, it sounds like any injury he has is not life threatening."
