UPDATE: Another semi has jackknifed in almost the same area where another semi jackknifed not too long ago on Interstate 90 near the Three Forks interchange.

The truck is jackknifed near Three Forks on Interstate 90. As of 1:15 p.m. traffic was backed up about 1 ½ miles in the area.

Meanwhile the Montana Highway Patrol is requesting that Montana Department of Transportation shut down the interstate heading westbound due to another crash further west, just past the Wheat Montana exit.

There is a third jackknifed semi being reported by the Montana Highway Patrol.

Montana's News Station's Dennis Carlson is on scene and reports that conditions are getting worse in the area with high winds blowing.

THREE FORKS - A semi truck has jackknifed on Interstate 90 near the Three Forks interchange at mile post 275.

From scanner reports, it sounds as though traffic is disrupted in the area.

We hope to have more information on that crash soon.

There are several other reports of minor crashes and slide-offs in and around the Bozeman area today.
