MISSOULA- A 66-year-old man collapsed during the Missoula Marathon Sunday morning, but due to some quick thinking by a citizen and a police officer, he is still alive.

Sergeant Jerry Odlin said just before 9 a.m. the man collapsed at the Hilda Avenue and Daly Avenue intersection.

A citizen started CPR until a police officer arrived. Odlin said the officer continued CPR and the man regained consciousness before the ambulance arrived and he was taken to St. Patrick Hospital.

We'll bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.
