A collision involving a pickup truck and a tour van on a highway near Yellowstone National Park resulted in seven deaths and eight injuries. The crash occurred just before 7:15 PM near Henry's Lake State Park. Emergency services, including air ambulances, responded to the scene. Witnesses reported long waits for help due to the remote location of the accident site. The Idaho transportation department is working on safety improvements for the highway, noted for its traffic challenges, but these initiatives are still in early planning stages.
"It took an unnervingly long time for help to arrive just because of the location," he said, highlighting the challenging circumstances of emergency response in that remote area.
"This is a very dangerous highway because it leads to the main entrance of Yellowstone national park," Roger Merrill commented, emphasizing the volume of traffic and its perilous nature.
