Emergency Response on Rock Creek Road
A motorcycle accident in Twin Falls County sent two people to the hospital by air ambulance on the evening of May 23. Twin Falls County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash scene near Hansen after receiving a request for assistance from neighboring Cassia County authorities.
The call came in at 8:22 p.m., directing emergency personnel to a location in the 2323 block of Rock Creek Road. Both patrol units and additional emergency responders were dispatched to the scene of the motorcycle crash.
Riders Transported by Air Ambulance
According to Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Lori Stewart, the motorcycle operator was a 52-year-old man and his passenger was a 47-year-old woman. Both individuals were wearing helmets at the time of the accident.
