On July 03, 2010 at 1:51 p.m., Idaho State Police investigated a two-vehicle injury crash eastbound on US20 at mile marker 365.8, near St. Anthony.

Catherine Evans, 52 of Baton Rouge, LA, was traveling westbound on US20 when she attempted to pass several other vehicles in a no passing zone. Evans' 2006 Volvo S60 collided with the front end of a 2010 Chevrolet HHR which was traveling eastbound on US20 being driven by Sophie Helens-Hart, 27 of San Francisco, CA.

Upon impact the Chevrolet continued off the right shoulder where it came to rest in the embankment. The Volvo came to rest partially in the lane of travel causing the westbound lane to be blocked.

Helens-Hart was transported by air ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Evans and her three passengers were all transported by ground ambulance to Madison Memorial Hospital.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this crash.

This crash is still under investigation by Corporal Coverley with the Idaho State Police.
