This really is a much watch…
Here’s Bret Baier’s emotional return to the anchor chair Tuesday night after the horrific car crash in Montana that sent his entire family to the hospital (it gets a little dusty in here):

According to the AP, this is a photo of the accident scene:
A little icy this morning. I think we talked about this.
Crash just south of the office when a driver slid through the stop sign.

AP:
Baier, 48, said a passing motorist stopped and the family was able to climb out of the flipped vehicle. He said first responders got them to a hospital quickly, from which he says they left “banged up but alive.”
A photo provided by the Montana Highway Patrol showed Baier’s vehicle on its side in a snowy ditch. Three passengers in Baier’s vehicle were treated for minor injuries that he described as “a concussion, 14 stitches on a chin, a jostled tooth and a sprained ankle.”
One passenger in the truck was also transported to a hospital for minor injuries, said John Barnes, a spokesman for the Montana Department of Justice.
David, who Baier mentioned in the video had helped rescued his family, was taking a friend to the hospital for a cancer treatment at the time of the crash:
Wow! I did not know that. Thank you. And I am very glad they are ok too. All I saw was David asking me repeatedly if my family was ok. Thank you. ?’s for your husband #countyourblessings https://t.co/fcpjt9eVP9

“Special Report” will be buying lunch today:
Thank you Sgt for sharing this from @MTHwyPatrol And thank you @maddow for sending. Very cool. The Fire DEPT and EMS is getting lunch on @SpecialReport tomorrow. They had 255 accidents to deal with in that area this weekend b/c of snow & ice #countyourblessings https://t.co/Ms3TY5ICsg
