BOZEMAN â The Montana Highway Patrol said a woman who was a passenger in a Ford SUV carrying a family of five died in a crash on Tuesday in the Gallatin Canyon.
According to MHP Trooper Tyler Brant, the crash occurred at approximately 4 p.m. on US 191, when the southbound SUV crossed the center lane and hit a semi-truck head on.
The woman died at the scene; the male driver and another passenger in the SUV were flown to Bozeman Health Deaconess with serious injuries.
Given the recent decline in COVID-19 hospitalizations, Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital has paused plans to build 20 temporary beds.
The Montana Department of Military Affairs and Disaster and Emergency Services and Gov. Steve Bullockâs COVID-19 task force decided this week to place the installation of the critical and acute care beds on hold.
The decision will be reevaluated weekly. If hospitalizations climb, the hospital could construct the beds on the vacant third floor of the new patient care tower, which was built to accommodate future expansion.
âOur Bozeman Health surge plan continues to be reviewed on a regular basis ⦠and weâre confident in our ability and our bed capacity to continue providing expert, quality care to every patient and to our community,â said spokesperson Lauren Brendel.
