***Final Update***

On April 29, 2020, at approximately 11:20 a.m., the Idaho State Police responded to a blocking crash on US95 at milepost 438, 3 miles north of Hayden. Michael Riebli, 63, of Bonners Ferry, was driving northbound on US95 in a semi pulling a trailer with tanks on the trailer. The semi was cut off by an older-model, two-tone, blue over white Dodge pickup truck, with a partial plate of K701, that was turning right onto US95, causing Riebli to veer off the road into a ditch to avoid crashing. The tank broke off of the trailer and spilled approximately 3,000 gallons of liquid fertilizer onto the road and ground. The lanes were blocked for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. Riebli was wearing his seatbelt.

If anyone witnessed this crash, please contact Trooper Mohr at the Idaho State Police at (208)-209-8620.
