Idaho police report truck crossing line before fatal tour van crash by Yellowstone.
A tragic accident near Yellowstone National Park resulted in the deaths of seven individuals last week, as reported by Idaho State Police. The collision between a Dodge Ram pickup truck and a Mercedes tour van, which occurred when the truck veered into oncoming traffic on Highway 20, led to both vehicles catching fire. The cause of the truck crossing the center line remains unknown as investigators continue to piece together the events that transpired. The crash, resulting in the loss of the truck driver and six occupants of the tour van, prompted responses from both Idaho State Police and the National Transportation Safety Board. The NTSB is conducting its own investigation alongside Idaho authorities due to the involvement of a commercial vehicle in the incident. The scene, located approximately 16 miles west of Yellowstone National Park, drew the attention of bystanders who aided the van survivors until emergency responders arrived. The swift and collaborative efforts of those on the scene were crucial in assisting those impacted by the tragic event. Our thoughts and support go out to the families and friends of the victims as the investigations into this devastating crash continue.
