After getting a call from a supporter of the blog earlier today, I’m providing one of the first substantive reports you’ll see that around 6:30am a Mountain Line bus was involved in a fatality while traveling east bound on West Broadway, near the Poverello Center. From a conversation I stumbled onto and recorded while walking on the bike path near the California Street walking bridge, the fatality was a woman.
I’m pretty sure this is accurate, since the white suds visible in this image, near the cop cruiser, is apparently from the blood being washed off the street.

Tomorrow’s article at Western Montana News will be about my value as a local journalist, and the first-amendment-challenged bureaucrats who don’t like applying the first amendment to my email inquiries.
Stay tuned, my reporting WILL CONTINUE whether they want it to, or not.
Thanks for reading!
Was the victim of the bus collision a 64 year old MALE, not a female? That’s what NBC Montana is now reporting. https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/eastbound-traffic-diverted-from-west-broadway-to-toole-in-missoula#
