At least eight people have died in crashes on Montana roads so far in July 2018 as of Friday, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.
The MHP attributes most of the crashes to people not wearing seatbelts, speed, and impairment. Troopers say these are the leading causes of vehicle fatalities in Montana. The MHP says that reducing the number of fatalities on Montana roads ultimately depends on people making good decisions before getting behind the wheel.
