IDAHO FALLS — Family members of an Idaho Falls man injured in a two-car crash along U.S. Highway 20 in Idaho Falls Friday morning have more information about his condition.
Peter Shane Jephson was rushed to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center once responders were able to get him out of the car.
Jephson’s niece, Jamie Kidd, tells EastIdahoNews.com Jephson suffered a badly broken leg and arm that required emergency surgery.
“The leg required adding a rod and the arm required a plate. He was in surgery for nearly six hours starting at 12:30 p.m.,” Kidd says.
