ISP Respond to Cement Truck Rollover on I-15

In the new release from the Idaho State Police we learn that the cement truck was the only vehicle involved in the accident. The truck rolled on Interstate 15 near Blackfoot at mile marker 94.

ISP state that the rollover happened at 9:35 AM:

A 2018 Oshkosh Cement Mixer, driven by a 37-year-old female from Idaho Falls, was travelling southbound on Interstate 15 near mile marker 94 where the driver lost control of the vehicle, went off the right shoulder

the driver over corrected, and the vehicle rolled, coming to rest on its side in both southbound lanes of travel where it spilled approximately ten yards of concrete onto the roadway.

As of this writing, 1:20PM on April 18th, the southbound lanes are still closed while crews clean up the mess. Check Idaho 511 for current road conditions.

Idaho State Police have also reminded residents of Idaho to be extra cautious when travelling. With warmer weather, more drivers are out on the roads and are more confident in their driving vs during winter road conditions.

Confidence can lead to overconfidence and distracted driving, which statistically leads to more crashes on Idaho roads. There were 3,275 deaths in 2023 due to crashes involving distracted drivers.

April is 'Distracted Driving Awareness Month' and ISP wants everyone to remember to 'keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel'.
