Blackfoot, ID (June 28, 2024) – Idaho State Police troopers are investigating a vehicle collision that took place on Thursday night near Blackfoot. 

A 59-year-old male from Blackfoot was driving southbound on 1100 W in a pickup truck with a 75-year-old male passenger and a 73-year-old female passenger when the crash took place. The collision started a fire, which burned approximately two acres. Officials blocked the roadway for five hours to allow emergency responders to assist those involved and clear the scene. At least two of the victims were transferred to an area hospital, but it's unknown what their current conditions are. However, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their complete recovery.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Idaho

In Idaho, victims of auto accidents caused by careless drivers are entitled to full compensation for all losses and costs incurred; however, this process often becomes quite difficult in situations involving many vehicles and motorists.

Fortunately, our staff at Attorneys of Idaho is experienced in handling collision damage. We understand that being paid won't make your experience or the agony of your injuries different. However, the best way to get justice for what you've gone through is to sue a negligent driver and get compensation via their insurance company. Should the necessity arise, your Boise car accident lawyers will do everything within their power to enable you to negotiate and pursue damages for the injuries you sustained adequately.

The allocation of fault in Boise is based on percentages, and comparative fault regulations allow you to be compensated even if you had any involvement in the accident. If an evaluation reveals that you bear fifty percent or more of the blame, you will not qualify for reimbursement. Nevertheless, following a collision, you should always consult with an experienced lawyer, even if you believe you are partially at fault.
