Authorities say at least five people have died after a pileup Friday evening on Interstate 90 in Montana. At least 20 vehicles crashed and Montana Highway Patrol Sgt. Jay Nelson said authorities believe the weather is to blame. While the highway patrol did not have an immediate count of the number of injuries, Nelson said additional ambulances had to be called in from Billings to help. Gov. Greg Gianforte said on Twitter that he was deeply saddened by the news of a mass casualty crash. The incident happened just west of Hardin.
A so-called “outflow" — or a surge of wind that's produced by storms but can travel faster than them — flew east/southeast about 30 miles ahead of the storms, Vertz said.
By the airport weather station's next reading at 4:35 p.m., the gusts had picked up to 62 mph . Another reading 20 minutes later recorded a gust of 64 mph .
