GREAT FALLS — A vehicle crashed into Toby's House Crisis Nursery in Great Falls on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
It happened shortly after 2 p.m. on the 400 block of Fifth Street North.
Toby's House staff said that all children and staff members are OK, but "understably shaken up."
All parents have been notified and are retrieving their children.
The agency said: "We appreciate everyone's concern and love, and we will be closed until further notice for both resources and childcare. We are so grateful that everyone will be okay, and that no one was harmed physically."
The Great Falls Police Department says two vehicles were southbound on Fifth Street North and a driver made an "unsafe lane change" that forced the other driver off the street and into the building.
No one in either vehicle was seriously injured.
We do not yet know if any citations were issued.
No other details have been released at this point. We will update you as we get more information.
Toby’s House was created in honor of October "Toby" Perez, a two-year-old girl who died at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend in Great Falls in 2011. The crisis nursery provides short-term care for children voluntarily brought there by a parent or legal guardian.
Toby’s House’s mission is to prevent child abuse and neglect by providing accessible emergency child care for a number of reasons - for example, if the caregiver is resolving personal issues and cannot care for the child as they would like, emergency custody issues, medical emergencies, or for mental health or sobriety support.
