Notus, ID (April 22, 2024) – Two individuals were killed in a collision on Highway 20/26 near Notus. The Canyon County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) reported that the collision occurred near Mink Road on Monday, April 22, at approximately 3:00 p.m.

A man from Caldwell was driving a 2007 Mack dump truck in the opposite direction of eastbound travel when he collided head-on with the driver of a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado. At least two people were pronounced dead at the scene, including the Silverado's driver, though it's unclear if any injuries were reported in the incident. The investigation remains ongoing in the interim, and witnesses were asked to come forward.

We offer our sincere condolences to the deceased victims' families. Our thoughts are extended to any injured victims and their loved ones. 

Fatal Car Accidents in Idaho

Fatal car accidents, especially those involving multiple drivers, can occur on any Idaho roadway, from urban streets to rural highways and higher-speed interstates. No matter the cause of the crash or location of the incident, if you were hurt or lost a loved one in an auto accident in Idaho, you may be entitled to compensation from the at-fault party.

When a victim dies as a result of the carelessness or wrongdoing of another motorist, a wrongful death claim may be made. In essence, it gives families a chance to be compensated for any financial losses they may have as a result of their loss. This might include funeral and hospital expenses, as well as lost wages.

It is difficult to deal with the loss and anguish of a loved one, particularly when such a loss occurs in an avoidable vehicle wreck. In addition to the psychological grief, families often experience lingering financial difficulties. You may be able to pursue legal compensation to ease your financial burdens if you think that the carelessness of another driver caused the death of your loved one.
