BANNOCK COUNTY, Idaho — A Montpelier man died Sunday evening following a single-vehicle rollover crash on U.S. Highway 30 east of Lava Hot Springs, according to the Idaho State Police.
Authorities reported that a Toyota Sienna carrying two men from Montpelier was traveling westbound near milepost 375 around 6:57 p.m. when the vehicle drifted off the roadway. The driver overcorrected, causing the van to overturn.
