A Columbia Falls man helped out in a two-vehicle accident yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Highway 2 and 40 intersection at the Blue Moon.

Eric Boyd of Columbia Falls came upon the scene before emergency responders arrived. He said that he stopped when he saw a man with a bloody nose and face and immediately used his outdoor emergency care training to keep the man’s head stable. Two people were eventually taken to the hospital in the wreck. Neither appeared to have life-threatening injuries.

A Green Subaru Outback was turning left to on U.S. Highway 2 when the light turned yellow. A Red Isuzu Trooper going eastbound on Highway 40 continued through the yellow light and the two vehicles collided, Montana Highway Patrol trooper Brian Thorne said.

The driver of the Subaru was 17-year-old Jaclyn Bohmer.

The driver of the Isuzu, Gary Gudmunson of Columbia Falls, was taken to the hospital by his wife and one of the passengers in the Subaru, 18-year-old Kyler Burns, was taken to the hospital via ambulance. The other passenger was 17-year-old Cameron Goodwin.
