Wrong-way crash near Hardin kills 2 on I-90

HARDIN, Mont. — Montana Highway Patrol said two people died in a head-on crash on Interstate 90 near Hardin late October 24, 2026. A media release said the crash happened at 11:57 p.m. on I-90 East near mile marker 474 in Big Horn County. The release said the road was dry. Investigators said a 59-year-old woman from Bozeman was driving a Chevy Malibu the wrong way in the eastbound lanes. Her car hit an eastbound Ram 1500 driven by a 64-year-old man from Brooksville, Florida. The woman died at the scene, and the release said she was not wearing a seat belt. The man also died, and investigators said his seat belt use was unknown. The release said alcohol was suspected. After the crash, the Malibu stopped in the median and the Ram went off the right side of the interstate, hit a guardrail and came to rest along the road. No one else was hurt.

Montana elects first woman Speaker of the House

HELENA, Mont. – Wednesday was a historic day at the State Capitol, as state lawmakers selected their next legislative leadership. Republican Rep. Katie Zolnikov of Billings is the first woman elected Speaker of the Montana House of Representatives in the state’s history, and the youngest woman in the nation to hold the title. She follows the steps of other Montana Republican women pioneers like Jeannette Rankin and Judy Martz. “My colleagues have placed an incredible amount of trust in me to lead them through the upcoming legislative session, and this is a responsibility that I do not take lightly,” said Zolnikov. “Montana has made history on the 250th birthday of our nation. The American Dream is still alive and well in Montana. Today has shown that you can still rise to the top by your own merits and work ethic. You don't have to be a part of the good old boys club, or come from money to rise to the ranks.” She was previously Speaker Pro Tem, and beat of previous Speaker of the House Brandon Ler, R-Savage, on Wednesday for the position.

Riverstone Health warns of potential measles exposure at Billings hospital

BILLINGS, Mont. - A person who was at Intermountain Health St. Vincent Regional Hospital on Sunday was confirmed to have tested positive for measles, according to RiverStone Health, potentially exposing others who were in the hospital lobby elevators. RiverStone Health said the individual is not a resident of Yellowstone County. "Out of an abundance caution, anyone who used the hospital's front main lobby elevators between 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 8, is asked to contact RiverStone Health Public Health at 406.247.3305," RiverStone Health said. Anyone who is immune to measles is not a risk, according to the health agency. "Those who were in this area and are not immune can receive the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) by 9:40 p.m. on November 11. PEP can help prevent measles or reduce the severity of symptoms," RiverStone Health said. Symptoms of measles can take up to 21 days to appear, according to RiverStone Health, and include runny nose, fever, rash, watery eyes and spots in the mouth. "People who are vaccinated can still become infected with the disease after exposure, although this is uncommon," RiverStone Health said. "When it occurs, symptoms are typically milder."

Billings and Belgrade veterans receive free cars ahead of Veterans Day

BELGRADE, Montana — Two veterans from Billings and Belgrade received free cars through Progressive Insurance's Keys to Progress program ahead of Veterans Day. Several local nonprofits and businesses helped identify people who needed a vehicle for the giveaway. Progressive said the program aimed to make a positive and life-changing difference for veterans who served the country. The company also said this was the first year it and its partners were able to give away two cars in Montana. "This is kind of one way that we can help to give back and apply that golden rule to the people who have made the biggest difference. And that's our veterans. You know, they've given everything to serve our country, and it's a really good way for us to give back," said Megan Webster with Progressive. Both recipients declined to speak with NonStop Local. Progressive runs the program every year and applications open in the spring for veterans looking for help getting a car.

Christmas tree auction gives Billings residents a chance to give back this holiday season

BILLINGS, Mont. — For some families, the holiday season brings added financial pressure as parents work to make sure there’s food on the table and presents under the Christmas tree. One Montana nonprofit is working to ease some of that burden, while finding creative ways to raise money to help even more families this year. The Intermountain Community Development Foundation is preparing to help 90 families through its Family Holiday Giving Program. That’s more than three times the number of families the organization helped when the program started three years ago. Families are nominated through other organizations and receive holiday food boxes, Christmas presents for children, stocking stuffers and clothing. The foundation also provides grocery and gas gift cards to help with other household expenses. Executive Director Mitzie Racine says the need has continued to grow, particularly as families navigate economic challenges. “We’ve seen a huge need, especially with the economy and just things that are going on,” Racine said. “We have a lot of families that have certain things that are happening and it’s really important for us. And that’s our whole foundation is what we want to do is give back to our community.” To help support the

New study highlights how Billings nonprofit is strengthening veteran suicide prevention efforts

BILLINGS, Mont. — For veterans struggling with their mental health, having someone recognize when something is wrong can be an important first step toward getting support. At the Adaptive Performance Center (APC) , a Montana nonprofit with locations in Billings and Helena, a new case study is showing promising early results from training designed to help employees recognize signs of emotional distress, start difficult conversations and connect veterans with additional resources before a situation becomes a crisis. The center partnered with the national nonprofit Give an Hour earlier this year to participate in its Veteran MILE training , an initiative focused on building mental health awareness and peer-support skills. The newly released case study, APC Vets Case Study: From Individual Skills to Organizational Capacity , looks at how that training is being put into practice and what it could mean for the veterans APC serves. For Jaclyn Colebank, a veteran who first came to APC seeking support for her own mental health, the training has given her new tools to connect with others. “It gave me other skills and other tools to really learn how to listen and connect with other people,” Colebank said. Now working as both a trainer
