Idaho State Police Investigating Hit and Run Crash Involving School Bus on Interstate 84

HEYBURN, Idaho — Idaho State Police (ISP) is investigating a hit-and-run crash involving a school bus that occurred on eastbound Interstate 84 near milepost 208 on the evening of April 9, 2026.

At approximately 8:23 p.m., ISP troopers responded to reports of a school bus that had struck the concrete barrier and was blocking the left lane. Initial information indicated that numerous occupants had exited the bus and were standing on the roadway.

No serious passenger injuries were reported. All students on the bus were transported by ambulance to a nearby location to reunite with school officials and their parents. The driver of the bus sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local area hospital for evaluation.

The bus sustained significant front and undercarriage damage after striking several jersey barriers. Troopers determined the crash involved a hit-and-run, and a second driver was later identified and cited in connection with the incident.

Traffic in the area was temporarily diverted while emergency responders investigated and removed the bus.

ISP reminds all drivers to remain at the scene of a crash and report the incident as required by law. Leaving the scene increases risk to others and may result in criminal charges.

The crash remains under investigation.
