An 11-year-old girl from Meridian, Idaho, is in critical condition after a motorhome crash on Teton Pass earlier this month. The family lost control of the vehicle, which rolled over and trapped the girl. She was airlifted to Salt Lake City and remains in the pediatric ICU. The Meridian community has organized a GoFundMe campaign and a birthday card drive for the girl's 12th birthday.
