Gooding woman dies after three-vehicle crash on Idaho Route 46

GOODING, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — A Gooding woman died on Tuesday evening after a three-vehicle crash on Idaho Route 46.

The crash occurred at 5:45 p.m. at milepost 107, approximately 5 miles south of Gooding, according to Idaho State Police.

A juvenile heading northbound in a pickup truck crossed into oncoming traffic. The pickup sideswiped a maroon SUV driven by a 28-year-old woman from Hailey. The pickup then crashed head-on into a mid-size sedan, driven by a 25-year-old woman from Gooding and carrying a juvenile passenger.

The crash killed the Gooding woman, who died from injuries at the scene of the crash, according to ISP. She was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Both juveniles and the Hailey woman were taken to the hospital, with the juveniles airlifted.

The crash blocked the highway for three hours. Law enforcement on scene diverted northbound traffic onto East 2300 South and diverted southbound traffic onto East 2100 South.

Idaho State Police is investigating the crash. The Gooding County Sheriff’s Office, Life Flight, Gooding Fire and Gooding Ambulance assisted troopers on scene.

Friends and family have created a gofundme account to help support her children.

How often does Boise get a ‘White Christmas’?

BOISE, Idaho — While some have resigned themselves to a rainy forecast this week across the Treasure Valley, some optimistic Idahoans are still holding out hope for the unlikely— the City of Boise blanketed in snow on Christmas morning.

While those wishes may (or may not) be answered this year, it’s worth noting that a White Christmas in Boise is not as common as some may think.

The National Weather Service in Boise just took a look back at the last 70 years to see how often the valley has been blessed with snowfall on Dec. 25.

Based on that data, the City of Boise averages a 25% chance of a White Christmas each year. The last time Boise had a White Christmas was in 2022.

The last time there was over 3 inches of snow on the ground on Christmas was 2017.

Idaho Falls Regional Airport long-term parking now full amid holiday travel rush – Local News 8

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Due to increased holiday travel, the Long-Term Parking Lot at Idaho Falls Regional is now full and temporarily closed. Airport officials issued an alert via social media, sharing photos of the packed lot and notifying passengers that while the Economy Lot on International Way remains an option, its availability is also becoming limited.

Addressing potential confusion for travelers on the ground, IDA explained that once the airport determines that safe access or traffic flow can no longer be maintained, the lot must be closed.

“You may notice open spaces in some areas — however, parking availability is managed based on operational and safety thresholds, not visual vacancy alone,” states the post. “When traffic flow or safe access can no longer be maintained, a lot may temporarily close even if some spaces remain.”

Airport leadership expressed their gratitude for the public’s patience during this peak holiday travel season, emphasizing that these restrictions are in place to ensure the safety of both passengers and their vehicles.

The airport is encouraging travelers to get a ride or use the Greater Idaho Falls Transit to avoid parking trouble. They’re also reminding flyers to arrive early and check flight status with their airline
