A pickup that collided with a tour van near Yellowstone National Park last week and killed seven people crossed the Highway in the middle and met the van, according to the Idaho State police.

The investigative soldiers have found that the Pickup from Dodge Ram exceeded the line on the US Highway 20 and met the Mercedes passenger car, the police said in a statement on Tuesday. The police are still investigating what the driver prompted to deal with oncoming traffic.

In addition to the driver, there was a group of twelve Chinese tourists and an Italian tourist on board the van. Five of the Chinese tourists, the Italian tourist and the pickup drivers died in the crash, according to the police, the Chinese general consulate in San Francisco and the Italian consulate general in San Francisco.

The police identified the pickup driver previously as Isaih Moreno (25) from Humble, Texas.

The crash occurred on Thursday evening near Henry's Lake State Park in the east of Idaho. The State Park is around 26 kilometers west of Yellowstone National Park.

The truck drove west while the van drove east towards Yellowstone when he passed. The video from the scene showed clear weather conditions at that time.

Both vehicles caught fire after collaboration, the police said. DNA tests are needed to identify the other people who died, according to the police. The eight other people in the van were injured, the police said.

Since a commercial vehicle was involved and due to the extent of the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board also carried out an independent examination, the police said. NTSB employees visited the scene and, according to the police, check evidence.

According to the latest data from the international trade administration, 36% of international visitors who came to the USA with air listed as their top leisure activities in the country.
