On Friday, August 28, 2015, at 7:25p.m., the Idaho State Police investigated a two vehicle injury crash northbound on SH28 at milepost 51, near Lone Pine. John Steele, 69, of Salmon, was driving a 2013 Honda ATV northbound on the right side road edge, crossing a bridge. Cajsa Allen, 40, of Salmon, was driving a 2015 Toyota Sienna Van, also northbound.

Allen was air lifted to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Allen was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The Idaho State Police was assisted by the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
