 No one was seriously injured in the T-bone crash near the Burger King, but one of the cars caught fire. [Click to enlarge] |
According to the Elmore County Sheriff's Office, the Suzuki driver, a female from Horseshoe Bend whose name was not available by press time, was exiting the interstate onto Highway 30, when the male driver of a commercial F-150 Ford pickup for Dales Service, Inc., of Boise, apparently ran the stop sign on the side road in front of her. His name also was not available at press time.
The female driver did not have time to apply her brakes and attempted to veer out of the male driver's path, but "T-boned" the pickup in the side-panel area. The driver of the pickup was taken to Elmore Medical Center where he was treated and released. He was cited for failure to yield.
The female driver was not injured, but her car caught on fire as a result of the accident and was totally destroyed.

This girl is very lucky to only have lost her car. There have been others that have lost lives at that corner. I hope she sues both the driver and Dales Service, Inc.
I cross those two streets twice a day during the week and each time I say a little prayer no one runs that stop sign or pulls out in front of me.... my husband came home very shaken and thankful for ABS brakes one evening because someone pulled out in front of him at corner. He would have totalled both cars if he hadn't been able to stop..
I hope Dales Service has fired this guy.. I bet it isn't the first stop sign he has blown.... I am thnankful the female driver was not injured... now go after your destroyed property.
