Fremont County, Idaho, May 3, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) -Daho officials work with international authorities to work after an accident with two vehicles on Thursday, in which seven people were killed.

The incident occurred at 7.15 p.m. on State Route 20 near Henry's Lake west of West Yellowstone. Both vehicles caught fire after the collision.

The Idaho State Police published new details on Saturday in the case, which indicates that the 14 inmates in the Mercedes van “included 12 people of Chinese nationality and one of Italian nationality”. The driver was licensed from California, the explanation says.

“The group traveled to Yellowstone National Park in a excursion organized by Cour Holiday LLC, a large-scale recording tour operator who offers international travel services,” says the press release of the Idaho State Police.

“The process is complex due to the international character of the participants and will take additional time. As part of the investigation, the deceased is brought to the Coroner office of the Ada County to autopsy and formal confirmation of identity. This step is important to ensure precise identification and documentation.”

ISP soldiers work closely with Cour Holiday LLC and remain in contact with the consulates of China and Italy in the course of the investigation, the explanation says.

“Due to data protection considerations, no information about the medical status of the injured is published,” says the ISP publication.

One person who was identified so far was the only inmate of the Dodge Ramp Pickups who collided with the Mercedes passenger car. The pickup driver was 25-year-old Isaiah Moreno from Humble, Texas.
