The crash occurred just before 7 p.m. at the intersection of Hitt Road/25th East and John Adams Parkway.
ISP Sgt. Blake Higley says a car was traveling northbound on Hitt Road/25th East and went into the intersection on a green light. The male driver, who has not been identified, made a right turn toward Pony Express Car Wash but failed to stay in his lane.
Another car, driven by Sarah Meyer, 45, of Idaho Falls, had just left the car wash and was stopped at the intersection on a red light.
The car driven by the man hit the driver’s side of Meyer’s car pushing it toward a power pole. His vehicle flipped onto its roof.
