One victim killed after fiery crash near Henrys Lake in Island Park identified
Idaho State Police have confirmed the identity of one of the seven individuals killed in a devastating two-vehicle crash near Henrys Lake in eastern Idaho.
The collision occurred Thursday evening, April 24, 2025, at approximately 7:15 p.m., on U.S. Highway 20 near mile marker 399, just outside of Henrys Lake State Park.
According to a statement released by Idaho State Police, a Dodge Ram pickup truck traveling westbound collided head-on with an eastbound Mercedes passenger van carrying a group of tourists en route to Yellowstone National Park.
The impact of the crash caused both vehicles to catch fire.
The van was reportedly transporting 14 individuals as part of a tour group.
Tragically, six passengers inside the van and the driver of the pickup truck were pronounced dead at the scene.
Emergency medical teams quickly responded, deploying an air ambulance along with other ground and air resources due to the severity of the injuries.
Three of the surviving occupants were airlifted to hospitals in Bozeman, Montana, and Idaho Falls for treatment.
Their current conditions have not been released.
The Fremont County Coronerโs Office has identified one of the deceased as 25-year-old Isaih Moreno of Humble, Texas.
Authorities have withheld the names of the other six victims pending notification of their next of kin.
Due to the complexity of the incident and the extent of the fire damage, officials say the identification process may take additional time.
The Fremont County Coroner will determine the official cause and manner of death for all victims.
U.S. Highway 20 remained closed for several hours Thursday night as investigators examined the scene, documented evidence, and began the process of reconstructing the sequence of events leading up to the deadly crash.
Idaho State Police are continuing to investigate the incident and have not yet released information on the possible cause of the collision.
Further updates will be provided as new details become available.

Train Derails in Ferguson Involving Vehicles, Hazmat Team Called Over Ethyl Alcohol Rail Car
FERGUSON, Mo. โ A train derailment involving vehicles prompted an emergency response in Ferguson on Ferguson Avenue, where authorities requested a hazardous materials team after determining that one of the train cars contained ethyl alcohol.
Emergency units were dispatched to 617 Ferguson Avenue after reports of the rail incident. Responders found a train that had derailed with vehicles involved.
Officials confirmed there was no reported entrapment. Crews were checking the scene for injuries and evaluating those involved in the incident.
A Hazmat response was requested because one rail car involved in the derailment was carrying ethyl alcohol. Emergency crews were assessing the rail car for any potential leak or hazardous condition and working to secure the area.
The presence of ethyl alcohol prompted additional safety precautions while responders examined the derailed train and surrounding vehicles.
At this time, authorities have not released details about possible injuries, the cause of the derailment or the extent of damage.
The investigation and emergency response remain ongoing in Ferguson, and officials are expected to provide additional information once the scene has been fully assessed.
