Idaho State Police are continuing to investigate a crash that occurred on January 26th. The accident took place on I 84 at about 5:15 a.m. and involved two vehicles.
The first vehicle, a 2020 Kia Soul driven by an 18-year-old from Rexburg, with another female passenger, was traveling westbound. As she traveled, she veered slightly and struck the median barrier, which bounced her back onto the road and over into the westbound lanes. She was struck by an oncoming vehicle, a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by a 52-year-old woman from Middelton, who was traveling westbound. Both vehicles were sent spinning and overturned, coming to rest on their tops on the road.
The driver and passenger of the Kia sustained major injuries, and both were sent to a local hospital by air ambulance. The driver of the Jeep also sustained substantial injuries and was taken in a ground ambulance to a hospital.
