The crash occurred near Henry's Lake, about 20 miles east of Yellowstone National Park.

The soldiers of the Idaho State Police replied around 7.15 p.m. that a Dodge Ram Pickup and a Mercedes passenger van collided.

The van worked as a travel vehicle and had 14 people on board while a person was in the truck, the police said. The van caught fire after the crash.

According to the police, six people died on the van and the driver of the pickup as a result of the crash. At least 16 patients were treated on site, with the severity of the injuries required at least one flight truck.
