The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office says 29-year-old Kylan Summers of Lewisville was driving a Ford Focus northbound on 15th East in Bonneville County. He failed to yield at a stop sign at the intersection with County Line Road and collided with a Mazda 7 driven by 38-year-old male Nicholas Contos of Idaho Falls, according to sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Bryan Lovell.
Both vehicles came to rest in canals on opposite sides of the road.
