Idaho State Police: Driver runs stop sign, hits hay-stacker truck in Twin Falls
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (CBS2) — A two-vehicle crash involving a hay-stacker truck sent two men to the hospital Wednesday afternoon in Twin Falls County, with one later flown to another facility.
Idaho State Police said the crash happened Wednesday, June 3, at about 12:19 p.m. at the intersection of N 2500 E and E 3400 N.
A 28-year-old man from Jerome was driving southbound on N 2500 E in a 2006 Ford Taurus, and a 59-year-old man from Twin Falls was driving westbound on E 3400 N in a New Holland hay-stacker truck, according to ISP.
Police said the driver of the Ford Taurus failed to obey the stop sign and collided with the hay-stacker.
Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt, and both were taken by ground ambulance to a nearby hospital. The driver of the hay-stacker was later transported by air ambulance to a different hospital, according to ISP.
The roadway was blocked for about two-and-a-half hours while crews worked to clear the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
