HOLLISTER, Idaho — Idaho State Police (ISP) is investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash that occurred at 1:12 a.m. on March 5, 2026, on southbound US-93 near mile marker 32, just north of Hollister.

A 53-year-old male from Twin Falls was driving a 2017 Ford F-350 southbound in the northbound lanes of US-93. A 59-year-old male from Twin Falls was driving a 2022 Ford Explorer northbound. The Ford F-350 struck the Ford Explorer head-on.

Both drivers were transported to a local hospital, where the driver of the Ford Explorer succumbed to their injuries. Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt.
