MISSOULA - A person was pulled from Clark Fork River and taken to the hospital on Friday afternoon.
The Missoula Fire Department (MFD) was called to a report of a person who was in the water and not breathing near the Van Buren Street footbridge at 2:45 p.m.
MFD Battalion Chief Dave Wolter says crews arrived to find the person being helped by bystanders and CPR had been started.
