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.

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.
