POCATELLO — Idaho State Police are investigating a single-vehicle crash that blocked the Interstate 15 Northgate off-ramp for several hours Friday.

A 45-year-old Coalville, Utah, man was traveling northbound on I-15 in a 2026 Freightliner around 9 a.m. Friday when the vehicle left its lane, struck a concrete barrier and came to rest blocking the off-ramp, state police said.

No one was injured in the crash, but the right lane of northbound I-15 near the off-ramp was blocked for approximately seven hours.

The crash remains under investigation.
