The highway was blocked in both directions for more than five hours as emergency responders worked to clear the wreckage. ISP was assisted by the Idaho Transportation Department, Bonneville County Sheriff's Office, Idaho Falls Police Department, Idaho Falls EMS, and Fire.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing. ISP is asking anyone with information or who may have witnessed the accident to contact ISP dispatch at (208) 528-3408. This information was provided by a press release from the Idaho State Police.
