Update:

At approximately 9:43 AM this morning, September 25, 2017, the Idaho State Police investigated a crash on N 3800 E at the intersection of State Highway 50 in Twin Falls County. For clarification, the location of the crash was N 3800 E and Hwy 50, not E 3800 N as previously reported. Zackery Klundt, age 38, of Filer was driving eastbound on State Highway 50 turning southbound onto N 3800 E in a Peterbuilt semi pulling a tralier. Douglas Henage, age 59, of Jerome, was behind Klundt in a Kenworth semi pulling a trailer. As Klundt swung wide to the left to make the turn onto the county road, Henage mistook this move for a left turn and continued into the intersection. When Klundt moved back to the right to complete his turn, Henage struck Klundt's vehicle. The eastbound lane of travel was blocked for approximately two and a half hours, but is now clear and all lanes are flowing. The investigation is ongoing.
