One child seriously hurt in ATV-pickup collission

One child was flown to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah following an ATV-pickup crash on S. State Street just north of 1600 South in Preston Saturday.

Idaho State Police said Timothy Salvesen,50, was driving a 2015 Polaris ATV on a gravel driveway off South State Street. According to reports, Salvesen backed onto the roadway and was struck by a southbound 1996 Dodge Intrepid driven by Samuel Cann, 19.

Salvesen and two minor passengers were not wearing helmets. All three were taken to Franklin County Medical Center. One juvenile was later flown by air ambulance to Primary Children’s Hospital.

Cann was not wearing a seatbelt, but airbags deployed in the Intrepid.

South State Street was blocked for about two and a half hours while officers investigated the crash.

Investigation by Idaho State Police and the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is continuing.
