Young man killed in crash near Inkom

A 19-year-old man from Downey was killed Thursday evening in a crash on Interstate 15 north of Inkom, Idaho. Idaho State Police said the pickup struck the back of a semi-truck trailer near milepost 60 at about 5:40 p.m. The driver was traveling southbound in a 2011 Ford F-350 when he rear-ended a 2017 Peterbilt semi hauling a trailer, and both vehicles came to rest in the right southbound lane. The pickup driver was not wearing a seat belt and died from his injuries. The right southbound lane was closed for about four hours while crews responded, with assistance from the Bannock County Sheriff’s Office, search and rescue, and Pocatello EMS. Investigators continue to probe the crash.
