IDAHO FALLS — One person was hospitalized after a major crash at the intersection of South Yellowstone Highway and Heyrend Way near Fielding Memorial Park Cemetery in Idaho Falls Thursday morning.
The crash happened around 6 a.m. and was “significant,” according to an IFPD Facebook post.
Idaho Falls Police spokesperson Jessica Clements told EastIdahoNews.com that two vehicles were involved in the initial crash.
A driver going east on Heyrend had stopped at the stop sign. Clements said they pulled onto Yellowstone Avenue, and a second vehicle hit them.
The second driver got out of their vehicle and was reportedly “standing in a lane of travel,” Clements said, when a third vehicle, driving north, hit them.
An ambulance took the second driver to Eastern Idaho Medical Center, she said. Their exact status is unknown.
Police cited the first driver for failure to yield from a stop sign, Clements said. The intersection was cleared of debris, and the road was open by 8:30 a.m.
