Five injured in Kootenai County bus crash

Authorities say a southern Idaho man died Saturday after he was crushed by bales of hay.

The Jerome County Sheriff’s Office told The Times-News that 44-year-old John Greber Jr. was moving bales of hay with a tractor in Hazelton Saturday morning when the accident occurred.

The sheriff’s office says a relative heard a crash and saw that Greber had been buried in the hay bales. Emergency workers were unable to revive Greber.
