According to the Montana Highway Patrol, four motorcycles and two vehicles were involved in the crash along Vaughn South Frontage Road on Sunday afternoon.
The MHP said one car was stopped and waiting to make a left-hand turn because the driver saw a group of motorcyclists approaching. An SUV then crashed into the stopped car, pushing it into four of the motorcycles.
Six people were injured; their injuries range from minor to critical, according to several sources.
The names of those involved have not yet been released. Several bikers wearing jackets bearing the HORDE name and logo were at the scene of the crash.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help two of the victims. It reads, in part:
My brother and his wife were involved in a horrific motorcycle accident on 06/03/2018. My brother is in critical condition with multiple facial fractures, a neck fracture, multiple back fractures, an ankle and finger. He had part of his skull removed to help with brain swelling. Sara fractured her C-7 and broke her tibia, which has required an operation to implant a rod in her leg. They have several children to take care of, one being special needs. They will have a very long road ahead of them.
We expect to find out on Monday if any citations have been or will be issued, or if criminal charges may be filed.
We will update you as we get more information.
