    • TWO TRUCKS COLLIDE.

      Damage topped $2,500 but there were no injuries in a two-truck smash on icy U.S. 93 (?) 28 miles east of West Glacier at 12:30 p.m. Friday. [Jan. 23, 1970]
      Investigating highway patrolmen said an eastbound semi-truck-trailer driven by Harvey Raymond Armstrong, 50, 13 Meadowlark Drive, Kalispell, was struck by a loaded truck-tanker after Armstrong slid into the westbound lane.

      Driver of the westbound tanker, Bernard Hanson, 64, Columbia Falls, was unable to stop because of ice. He hit the Armstrong truck which had slid against a snowbank.
      Neither man was injured and no citations were issued (Daily Inter Lake, Kalispell, Montana, Sun. Jan. 25, 1970, p.2).
