“We often respond to crashes that occur off-road, and it’s tragic when we have to inform a family that a day meant to be fun ended with a serious injury,” ISP Corporal Travis Gurney said. “We also want to help our partner agencies protect Idaho’s off-road resources so they’re safe and available to all users. That’s why we’re so passionate about OHV safety training and happy to share our expertise to help keep families safe and whole and enjoying all Idaho has to offer.”
