Multiple Wrecks In South-Central Montana During Freezing Rain

Vehicles piled up all over the Billings area Thursday as freezing rain fell throughout the region and prompted at least one highway closure in south-central Montana. Montana Highway 3 from Harlowton to Garneill was shut down Thursday afternoon by the Montana Department of Transportation. "There’s ice everywhere, and people just aren’t slowing down," Montana Highway Patrol Sgt. Scott Ayers said. In the Billings area, a six-car pileup involving four separate crashes caused an eastbound portion of Interstate 90 to shut down for more than two hours near the King Avenue exit, said MHP Capt. Keith Edgell, adding that no one was injured.
