Flathead County Sheriff

The caller hung up, but a dispatcher dialed back and left a message that officers were on their way and that the caller should call back immediately. He did call back to say he had hit a bicycle and thought there was a person on it, so he called 911. When he realized there was no one on the bike, he hung up.
