PRESTON, ID : 3 injured in crash involving ATV on Saturday, November 12th 2016
An adult and two minors were injured in a crash south of Preston on Saturday.
The incident occurred on South State Street, north of the 1600 South intersection.
Idaho State police say Timothy Salvesen, 50, was driving a 2015 Polaris ATV on a gravel driveway when he backed the vehicle onto the roadway. The ATV was then struck by a southbound 1996 Dodge Intrepid driven by Samuel Cann, 19.
Salvesen and two minors who were riding with him were transported by ground ambulance to Franklin County Medical Center (FCMC), police said. One of the juveniles was later flown to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Salvesen was no longer at FCMC on Monday, according to officials there.
Police say neither Salvesen nor his passengers were wearing helmets when the crash occurred; Cann wasn’t wearing his seat belt.
Franklin County sheriff’s deputies assisted police at the scene of the crash that shut down State Street for roughly two and a half hours.
