The crash happened on Jan. 27, 2023, on Idaho Highway 33 around 7 a.m. at milepost 131 in Teton County.
A snowplow was the lead vehicle in a line of cars, traveling eastbound, according to Idaho State Police. Sanchez was reportedly driving a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup and attempted to pass the line of cars. Wright was driving a 2017 Ford commercial box truck traveling westbound.
As the Chevrolet was in the oncoming lane of travel, it hit the Ford head-on. The Chevrolet then spun and hit a 2010 Toyota Yaris, driven by a 56-year-old man from Teton, Idaho State Police said.
