On Sunday, July 10, 2016 at approximately 1:32 p.m., the Idaho State Police investigated a three-vehicle, property damage crash at the intersection of US-93 and SH-25 in Jerome County.

Connie Studer, 55, of Rupert, Idaho, was behind the Kia in a 2008 GMC Sierra. Blowing winds had produced a dust storm resulting in diminished visibility.
