Sixty-five-year-old Fred Castle, of McCammon, tried to avoid the crash, but hit White's motorcycle. White was taken to Portneuf Medical Center by ambulance. Holden was air-lifted. Castle was treated at the scene. None of the drivers was wearing helmets.
The group was bringing the American Veteran's Traveling Tribute to Pocatello.
The crash is still under investigation by Idaho State Police.
