MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Wildlife officials say there has been a surge of bear deaths along Montana highways as more bears have been making their way down to river valleys in search of food ahead of their winter hibernation.
There’s good news from the Montana Highway Patrol. As 2015 nears the half-year mark, it's hard not to be optimistic about the roadway fatality trends.
Memorial signs commemorating a legacy and sacrifice of Patrolmen Hedstrom and Ren, who were both killed in the line of duty in Montana, will be placed roadside on Saturday at the location where each officer was killed.
