UPDATE:
BLACKFOOT, Idaho (KIFI) — A two-vehicle crash involving a pickup truck, a camper, and an SUV blocked southbound traffic on Interstate 15 for around two hours yesterday, August 25.
According to the Idaho State Police (ISP), the accident occurred at around 3:58 PM. A black 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe pulling a camper trailer, driven by a 73-year-old woman from Washington, Utah, was traveling south on the interstate when it fishtailed. The Tahoe then struck a blue 2016 Subaru Forester, driven by a 74-year-old woman from Dietrich, Idaho.
The impact caused the camper trailer to roll, coming to a rest and blocking both southbound lanes of I-15.
Emergency crews responded to the scene, and traffic was rerouted for several hours while they assisted the drivers and cleared the wreckage. ISP has not released the names of the individuals involved or any details regarding potential injuries.
