ISP Sheds Light on Thursday Semi-Truck Accident Near Declo

In the ISP report we learn that the accident happened around 11:30 AM on the I84 exit number 216 overpass. The accident involved 2 vehicles and not just the semi as initially thought.

A 21-year-old male of Carlsbad, California, was driving a 2013 Mazda CX-5. He exited eastbound I84 at exit 216 and proceeded to turn left onto southbound SH77 to head towards Declo. The driver failed to yield to a semi, driven by a 37-year-old male from Senora, Mexico, that was southbound on SH77. The semi swerved to miss the car and lost control and went over the overpass.

The driver of the semi-truck was transported by air ambulance to a local hospital. As of right now, the overpass and eastbound lanes of I84 are still closed. We have been notified on social media that a crane is on site to help move the truck.
