UPDATE: All lanes have been opened back up now.
Press Release: Due to the high winds and low visibility on I94 around the Treasure-Rosebud County line (MM78), we had multiple vehicles crash resulting in one fatality. For a while both East and West bound lanes were closed down with traffic being diverted at the Rosebud exit and Sarpy Creek exit. Currently the West bound lanes are open with progress being made to open the East bound side. One lane will be open shortly and we ask that people please drive carefully as they head east. The family of the deceased has been notified but at this time we are not releasing names in an attempt to give them some privacy and time to process this tragedy. I would like to thank Rosebud County Sheriff's Office, Montana Highway Patrol, Montana Motor Carrier Services, Rosebud County EMS, Edit: Rosebud County Fire, and Montana DOT for helping out. We will update this post with further information once it becomes available.
Again my deepest condolences goes out to the family in these difficult times.
-Sheriff-Coroner Will Seastrom
