On Thursday, May 1, 2025, a pickup truck and a passenger van carrying fourteen people collided on U.S. Highway 20 near Yellowstone National Park in Idaho. Both vehicles subsequently caught on fire, and two bystanders on the highway tried to pull out as many people from the van as they could, saving eight lives. Unfortunately, the driver of the pickup truck and six people in the van were killed, including Chinese citizens who were visiting Yellowstone on vacation.

Due to the severity of the crash, the Idaho State Police had to call an air ambulance and other resources to adequately support the survivors of the collision. Emergency services worked hard to control the scene of the crash and clear the road. The highway was reopened seven hours later; however, the cause of the crash is still under investigation. 

GLP Attorneys sends its heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the collision and prays for a speedy recovery for all of those involved in the accident.
