The other accident reported by the Idaho State Police happened on Saturday morning at 8:41 on the westbound US20 at mile marker 315 between Idaho Falls and Rigby. The accident involved two vehicles, and both drivers were taken to a local hospital, according to the ISP report.

• A 44-year-old female from Idaho Falls was traveling eastbound on US-20 at the Ucon overpass in a 2012 Toyota Tundra.
• The driver lost control, rolled through the median into the westbound lanes, and struck a 2024 Toyota Rav4 driven by a 64-year-old female from Rigby.

It’s possible that dangerous road conditions contributed to the accident. Idaho State Police warned other drivers to be aware of ‘black ice and slick conditions during this winter season.’
