Court documents describe multiple witnesses stating a red sedan “had been traveling northbound in the passing lane as it entered into Shoshoni.” The car reportedly continued to pass after the passing lane ended and veered into oncoming traffic striking a southbound vehicle. The southbound vehicle overturned and trapped the three occupants. It is reported, one of the occupants “suffered a fracture of the cervical spine…” There is no information reported in the court documents about the condition of the other two occupants.
