Shelley woman killed in crash

A 37-year-old Shelley woman was killed in an accident where one vehicle caught fire at the intersection of 113th S. and 1st E. around 8 a.m. Thursday.

The first arriving deputy located a female, later identified as 37-year-old Alicia L. Oyola of Shelley, trapped and unconscious in her vehicle and began first aide with bystanders until ambulance personnel arrived.

The driver of the other vehicle, 31-year-old Joshua Allen of Shelley, was able to free himself and climb out of his vehicle and assisted in attending to Oyola.

Through investigation, deputies found Allen was driving his Ford Explorer East on 113th S. approaching 1st E. and failed to yield at the stop sign to Oyola who was driving north on 1st E. in a Nissan Exterra.

Both vehicles came to rest in a nearby field, and Idaho Falls Fire quickly extinguished a small fire in Allen’s vehicle.

Oyola was extricated from her vehicle, and an ambulance transported her to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center where she ultimately succumbed to her injuries.

Both drivers had been wearing seatbelts.

Police say there was no sign of alcohol or drugs involved.

Deputies are continuing to investigate this crash.
