A tractor-trailer today struck an Idaho Department of Transportation traffic control vehicle on northbound Interstate 15
The Idaho State Police said in a social media post that officers are investigating the crash that occurred early this morning on northbound I-15 near milepost 73.
At about 2:30 a.m., a tractor-trailer struck a stationary traffic control vehicle equipped with a crash attenuator. The collision tore open the trailer wall, spilled cargo onto the roadway, and heavily damaged the traffic control truck.
No serious injuries were reported, according to ISP.
Due to damage and the condition of the load, the right northbound lane of I-15 and the Exit 73 off-ramp are closed and expected to remain closed until this afternoon.
This was the second traffic-control vehicle struck at the same spot in less than 24 hours. One was hit yesterday, with the second one struck overnight. Drivers are urged to slow down, pay attention, and be prepared for diversions in work zones, according to the ISP.
