Idaho State Police (ISP) are investigating a two-vehicle injury crash that occurred at 2:38 p.m. on May 24, 2025, on eastbound U.S. Highway 26 at milepost 386 near Irwin in Bonneville County. A 46-year-old man from Farmington, Utah, driving a 2020 black GMC Yukon westbound, crossed the center line and collided with an eastbound semi-truck. The semi-truck’s driver, a 44-year-old man from Idaho Falls, along with his passengers—a 52-year-old woman from Idaho Falls and a juvenile—sustained minor injuries. All were wearing seat belts. The Yukon’s driver, also wearing a seat belt, was seriously injured and airlifted to a local hospital.

The crash closed U.S. Highway 26 for three hours, with cleanup crews still working to clear the road.
