Upon arrival, first responders began CPR on a male driver in the first vehicle later identified as 44-year-old Marion Robinson of Bedford, Wyoming. Also in the vehicle was an 11-year-old passenger, who was transported to Jackson by ambulance from the scene. The juvenile was treated at St. Johns Medical Center and released to a family member. All resuscitative efforts were unsuccessful and Mr. Robinson was pronounced deceased on scene.
The female driver of the second vehicle was later identified as 62-year-old Mary Ann Menster of Pinedale, Wyoming. Ms. Menster was life-flighted from the scene to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls due to the severity of her injuries.
