Three crashes in Bingham County area kept law enforcement officers busy on Wednesday.
The most serious incident occurred on Interstate 15 near Blackfoot around 1 p.m.
State police say Brandon Nightengale, 22, of Lynnwood, Wash., was driving south in a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup when he went off the left shoulder of the road. He overcorrected the vehicle, which then struck a Penske truck and trailer — driven by Meridian resident Thomas Felzien, 54 — and rolled.
Nightengale was transported by ground ambulance to Bingham Memorial Hospital in Blackfoot; efforts to obtain information about his condition failed on Wednesday. His passenger, Pocatello resident Wesley Olsen, 31, was transported by ground ambulance to Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello. He was listed in critical condition, according to hospital officials.
