CUSTER COUNTY, Idaho (KIFI) — A 51-year-old Ammon man died Thursday morning after rolling his semi-truck on U.S. Highway 93 east of Challis, according to Idaho State Police.
The crash happened around 10:37 a.m. at milepost 154. Investigators say the man was driving a northbound 2005 Peterbilt semi-truck hauling a trailer loaded with gravel when the vehicle veered off the right shoulder and into the borrow pit.

The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and died from his injuries at the scene. Idaho State Police is continuing to investigate the crash.
