A three-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 20 sent two people to the hospital and forced the closure of a stretch of the road, according to a report published Thursday, June 19, by East Idaho News.
Details on the injured parties — their names, ages, and conditions — weren’t immediately available. The specific section of the highway affected by the closure wasn’t disclosed in the initial report, and no agency had announced a reopening timeline as of publication.
U.S. Highway 20 is a major east-west corridor through eastern Idaho, running through communities including Idaho Falls and connecting to heavily traveled routes near Yellowstone. A closure on any portion of it can back up traffic for miles — particularly during summer travel season, when the road carries higher-than-usual recreational and tourist traffic.
What caused the three-vehicle collision hasn’t been confirmed. No names of those involved have been released.
