There has been a trust fund set up at U.S. Bank for two of the three boys that were involved in a 1 vehicle roll-over accident near Hazelton yesterday.

Idaho State Police say that 18-year old Douglas Henderson of Twin Falls was traveling westbound on State Highway 25 near milepost 26 when he attempted to pass another vehicle and lost control of the car, hitting a telephone pole.

Police say he was going too fast for conditions.

Henderson was uninjured but his two passengers, Justin McCormick and Andrew Johnson-Crumrine, both students at Hazelton High School, received serious injuries and the two were taken to St. Al's in Boise.

According to reports, both boys are listed in serious, but stable conditions.

Again, if you would like to contribute to the fund that has been set up go to any U.S. Bank branch and make a donation.
