INJURY CRASH

On Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at approximately 5:15 pm, the Idaho State Police investigated a two vehicle crash on I-15 MP 120, one mile north of Idaho Falls. Ashlee Bare, 17 YOA of Terreton was traveling south on I-15 in a 1994 Ford Taurus when she stopped in the right travel lane next to her boyfriend's vehicle that was having car problems so they could jump the battery.

Jerry Lane, 67 YOA from Missoula, Montana was traveling south on I-15 in a 1996 Toyota 4-runner in the right travel lane when he crashed into the rear of Bare's car. Bare was still sitting in the car when the crash occurred. Bare's vehicle came to rest on the right shoulder. Lane's vehicle rolled south down the right travel lane after the crash and came to rest on its side.

Both drivers were cited. Lane was wearing a seatbelt and Bare was not. Bare was transported to EIRMC with minor injuries.
