The message from the Missoula County Sheriff's Office on this Monday evening, December 9 is to only travel if necessary, and if you do have to drive, please slow down.
Missoula has experienced several tragic car crashes recently, some resulting in deaths, such as those of Chance Geery and Roberta Demmert. Officials with the Metropolitan Planning Organization aim to reduce the numbers to zero fatalities long term, and at least 25 percent fewer severe injuries by 2018.
