Here are the top stories in Boise today:

1. The Boise Daily opens with a story we doubt you will find anywhere else. Members of the Oregon National Guard were heading to Gowen Field for training when they came upon a horrific motorcycle accident on Interstate 84. The National Guard's Steven Conklin takes the reader through the scene and the medical assistance provided by the STS Airmen. Just days before the accident, these same STS members had completed tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) and were riding in vehicles equipped with the equipment and the trained personnel for just such a situation. Hospital staff later confirmed it was likely both victims would have died at the scene if not for the actions of the visitors from Oregon. (nationalguard.mil)
2. Meridian police were busy Friday night after three people were taken into custody after both a vehicle and foot pursuit. KTVB-TV staff report two of the person arrested had outstanding warrants while a third escaped. (KTVB.com)
3. A Boise woman sits in jail in Lewiston after being found with methamphetamine and eight pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop. CBS2 news staff report Boise resident Alissa D. Fisher (Church) is charged with trafficking marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, injury to a child, and introduction of contraband into a jail. Another woman in the car was also arrested and a child in the vehicle was placed into the custody of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. (Idaho News)
4. If your dream is to own a motel where 1958-era station wagons pull in full of family members and spend the night above the family car, we have a deal for you. BoiseDev editor Don Day reports the the Sunliner Motel in Garden City is up for sale, straight from a 1965 remodel. This is the motel with all the rooms on the second floor with parking underneath you have seen driving down Chinden Blvd. (boisedev)
5. We have all heard of the shortage of baby formula, but a group has come together to assist Treasure Valley mothers. KIVI-TV's Nicole Camarda writes a new Facebook group, Treasure Valley Infant Formula Availability, has nearly 1,000 members helping each other locate the needed formula. (kivitv)

• The Local Wine Pub Boise: "“Sorry for the inconvenience, we are CLOSED Friday 5/27, and Saturday 5/28 due to a broken pipe. Please check our Facebook and Instagram for updates. Thank you for your understanding, Management of The Local." (Instagram)
