Missoula appears to be the riskiest place in the state for drivers, according to a new study.

The city contains the Top 5 most dangerous intersections for crashes in Montana, with the Top 4 most common crash locations on Reserve Street.

The study, which analyzed the 2014-2016 car crash statistics kept by the Montana Department of Transportation, was compiled by a partnership between the Billings law firm Ragain & Cook and marketing company 1point21 Interactive.

Reserve Street’s junction with Mullan Road topped the list, with 121 different crashes during the three-year period the study examined — which averages out to a crash every nine days. That crossing was followed on the list by Reserve’s intersections with Brooks Street, West Broadway and Third Street, with the corner of East Broadway and Van Buren Street rounding out the Top 5.

In 2009, Missoula's Long-Range Transportation Plan also found Reserve and Mullan to be the most accident-prone intersection.

At 58, Missoula had more than a third of the 163 most dangerous intersections in Montana ranked in the study, with Billings coming in second with 43.
