Hospital officials say a 19-year-old Mormon missionary is in very critical condition following a car crash in Idaho.
Idaho State police say Taylor Ward of Vacaville, Calif., and another missionary with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were in a two-car crash early Tuesday in southeastern Idaho.
Police say 20-year-old missionary John Floyd of Deep Run, N.C., was driving when he went through a stop sign in a sedan. The car collided with the passenger side of a pickup truck.
Ward was taken to Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, Idaho, where he is on life support, said hospital spokeswoman Brenda Stanley. Floyd was injured but survived.
There have been at least five deaths this year of Mormon missionaries.
The 75,000 Mormon missionaries serving around the world are more than at any time in the church's history.
