Juvenile from Utah Injured in 5-Vehicle Crash on Eastern Idaho Highway

The Idaho State Police also reported a domino-effect accident on July 15th on US20 near mile marker 367. The accident involved vehicles from Kansas, Idaho, and Utah. The following details come from the ISP report:

• A 2026 Dodge Ram pulling an RV trailer driven by a 43-year-old male from Clinton, Utah, came upon a two-vehicle crash that the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office was investigating. The Dodge moved into the passing lane on the eastbound side to give the deputy space.
• A 2022 Honda Odyssey, driven by a 27-year-old male from Salt Lake City, Utah, was traveling westbound and slowed down. A 2022 Tesla Model 3, driven by a 20-year-old female from Idaho Falls, was unable to slow down and rear-ended the Honda.
• A 2025 GMC Sierra pulling a flatbed trailer, driven by a 56-year-old male from St Anthony, moved into the eastbound passing lane where it sideswiped the Tesla and the Honda. The Tesla rotated clockwise and came to rest perpendicular in the westbound travel lane.
• A 2019 Subaru Ascent, driven by a 71-year-old male from Lawrence, Kansas, tried to avoid colliding with the Tesla and swerved into the passing lane, striking the Dodge.

Google Maps shows the speed limit at 65 miles per hour in that area of US20, which is an incline/decline on the mountainside with a single lane on the downhill side and two lanes on the uphill side for a passing lane.
