Idaho State Police Investigates Crash In Bingham County

BINGHAM COUNTY, Idaho – Just after 1 p.m. this afternoon, Bingham County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) responded to a crash involving one of their deputies with another vehicle in the 600 block of N 1100 E (Mountain View Rd), south of Goshen.

Arriving deputies located the crash and provided emergency medical aid to the male driver of a Ford F-250 pickup. The driver succumbed to his injuries. The female passenger in the F-250 sustained injuries. The female deputy, who drove a marked Ford SUV, suffered serious injuries. Both females were transported to nearby hospitals for medical treatment.
