The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) reported that both lanes of traffic are blocked due to a crash, leaving travelers stranded and traffic at a standstill.
According to MDT, the series of accidents occurred amidst challenging weather, including heavy snow and icy conditions, which have made travel dangerous for motorists.
