ATLANTA—Four volunteers of a Georgia nonprofit were hurt in a van crash in Idaho as they traveled across the country on a fund-raising trip, officials with the organization said.
The injured volunteers were among a group of eight cyclists who were riding in a van when it crashed Tuesday night near Burley, Idaho, said Chris Johnson, a spokesman for the Americus-based Fuller Center for Housing.
A rear tire on the van blew, and the vehicle landed on its roof, he said.
The injured volunteers—three from Georgia and one from Colorado—were taken by ambulance to a hospital, where they were treated, Johnson said. All four have been released from the hospital, Johnson said Wednesday.
The volunteers are cyclists pedaling a 3,600-mile route from Seattle to Washington, D.C., to raise money for the Fuller Center. The nonprofit builds and repairs homes.
The injured Georgia volunteers were identified by the Fuller Center as Ashley Rae Moore, 22, of Athens; and newlyweds Michael Tiemeyer and Krystal Goodwin, both 29, of Savannah. Also hurt was Tom Weber, 69, of Colorado, who suffered a dislocated shoulder, officials said.
The van was towing the trailer for the Fuller Center Bike Adventure team.
