A fiery crash involving a passenger van near Yellowstone National Park has left seven people dead, US police said Friday.<\/p>\n
Detectives probing the crash said a pickup truck collided with a van carrying 14 people on Thursday evening by Henry’s Lake in eastern Idaho.<\/p>\n
“Tragically, six individuals in the van and the driver of the pickup died as a result of the crash,” a statement from Idaho State Police said Friday.<\/p>\n
Pictures in local media showed a badly crumpled red truck and a van that had been engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n
Police said an air ambulance had been called in to transport victims to hospitals “due to the severity of the injuries.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There was no information on the identities or nationalities of those caught up in the crash.<\/p>\n
Locals quoted by media said the road is usually busy because it leads to one of the entrances to Yellowstone.<\/p>\n
Millions of tourists — domestic and international — travel every year to Yellowstone, the first national park to be established in the United States, which covers portions of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.<\/p>\n
It is home to thousands of geothermal features — hot springs, mudpots, steam vents and about half the world’s active geysers, including Old Faithful.<\/p>\n
