ISLAND PARK, Idaho (KIFI) – A woman died Friday night after a UTV crash.
A Fremont County Sheriff’s Deputy and Island Park EMS answered the call just before 11 p.m. near Big Springs.
Reporter Scott Taylor told the report that he and his wife, Tonya Taylor, had been in a single vehicle crash and Tonya was trapped under the UTV and submerged in water.
Officials say Taylor initially attempted to lift his wife’s UTV, but was unable to move the vehicle. Taylor lost her phone in the crash and had to run to a nearby cabin and ask them to call 911.
The cabin occupant and Scott both returned to the scene and attempted to move the vehicle again, without success.
Law enforcement arrived at the scene 15 minutes after the call and were able to help move the vehicle enough to get Tonya out from underneath.
CPR was started immediately, Island Park EMS arrived a few minutes later, and CPR continued, along with other
procedures.
Tonya was transported by ground ambulance to an appointment with Air Idaho at Elk Creek, Island Park. The flight crew continued rescue action with the assistance of the ambulance crew and proceeded to Madison Memorial Hospital in the ground ambulance so that CPR could continue.
Tonya died on her way to the hospital.
The accident is still under further investigation by the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office
