DECLO — At 11:31 a.m. on November 14, 2024, Idaho State Police investigated a two-vehicle crash near Declo.
A 21-year-old male of Carlsbad, California, was driving a 2013 Mazda CX-5. He exited eastbound I-84 at exit 216 and proceeded to turn left onto southbound State Highway 77 to head towards Declo.
