Pocatello, ID (March 26, 2024) –  On Monday afternoon, two cars collided at a major junction in north Pocatello, injuring a woman. It was just after 3:00 p.m. when a sedan and pickup truck crashed at Olympus Drive and Bench Road. 

One of the drivers, identified only as a woman, was taken to Portneuf Medical Center for treatment by ambulance. The Pocatello Fire Department also responded to assist. According to police, her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.  However, the collision's cause has not been made public by the authorities, and police in Pocatello are still looking into the collision. 

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