CHUBBUCK — Idaho State Police are investigating a crash that occurred at 8:46 p.m. Wednesday on northbound I-15 at milepost 73.

A 47-year-old man, from Brigham City, UT was traveling northbound on I-15 in a 2022 white Kenworth semi-truck. A white box truck, driven by an unknown driver, merged in front of Kenworth. To avoid collision, the Kenworth semi-truck veered to the right and collided with an impact attenuator where it came to a stop, blocking the lane of travel on the I-15 Northgate off-ramp.

The northbound Northgate off-ramp of I-15 has been blocked for approximately 3 hours and is still blocked as crews work to assist those at scene.

Idaho State Police were assisted by Bannock County Sheriff’s Office, Pocatello Police Department, Bannock County Ambulance 3 and Engine 3, and the Idaho Department of Transportation.

This incident remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police. We are asking for the public’s assistance for any information regarding this incident and to contact the Idaho State Police dispatch at 208.239.9808.
