DILLON — Tuesday evening first responders were called to the corner of Atlantic and Helena Streets following a vehicle-versus-bicycle accident involving a minor child.

Emergency crews arrived quickly, with paramedics working to stabilize the young patient for transport. The intersection was closed to traffic for several hours as Dillon Police, the Beaverhead County Sheriff’s Office, and the Montana Highway Patrol investigated the scene.

At 9 p.m., Dillon Elementary School Superintendent Randy Shipman released a statement on Facebook confirming the tragic loss of a Parkview Elementary School student.

“It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that I share the tragic news of the passing of one of our beloved students at Parkview Elementary School,” Shipman wrote. “Our entire school community is mourning this unimaginable loss. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the student’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”

Shipman noted that grief counselors and support staff will be available at the school to help students and staff process the tragedy. He asked the community to respect the family’s privacy as they grieve.

Authorities confirmed that the crash remains under active investigation. Law enforcement has asked that anyone with information contact the Dillon Police Department.
