ORIGINAL STORY:
JEFFERSON COUNTY — Two men were airlifted to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center this evening after a crash on North 3950 East.
Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson tells EastIdahoNews.com 52-year-old Timothy Kostial lost control of his 1999 Ford F150 pickup truck around 6:10 p.m. and exited the road. Anderson says Kostial then overcorrected, causing the truck to overturn near 530 North.
Kostial and his passenger, 64-year-old Gary Thompson, were both ejected from the truck. They were not wearing seat belts, according to Anderson, and alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.
Two medical helicopters landed near the crash and each carried a different patient to the hospital. Their conditions have not been released.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Rigby Police Department and Central Fire District responded to the scene.
