Thanks to an eyewitness who saw a man whose name was not mentioned was driving his truck, camper and trailer left the road near Heise Idaho on Saturday that fell off of the road and into the Snake River. The driver of the truck was able to swim to safety after he was able to get out of his truck even though his dog was still in the river. First responders as well as deputies from the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) were able to get the accident victim airlifted to Eastern Idaho Medical Center who nearly died from hypothermia. The good news is that the accident victim is expected to make a full recovery. The dog that belongs to the accident victim was found aboard a camper floating in the Snake River. The dog is in good condition after the rescue that was executed by the local fire department, the sheriff's office and Air Idaho Rescue team members.

That wasn't a good day for that guy. Fancy losing all his vehicles in the river.

That is true since I hope that the driver has auto insurance that will cover his expenses.

How did the river get its name?

I guess the name of the accident victim has to have his relatives notified first before his name is released to the public.

@Kandae11 The name Snake River comes from the Native Americans who lived in the area by the explorers who visited the area when they misunderstood the hand signals from the Native Americans in the area.
