On Sunday, March 4, 2012, at 2:20 a.m., the Idaho State Police investigated a one-vehicle rollover on Interstate 84 at the 164 mile marker, near Jerome. Shannon Mitchell, 36, from Idaho Falls, was travelling east in a Ford F150 pickup. He drifted off the left side of the road into the median, tried to get back on the road, and overcorrected. The truck rolled once, landing upright in the median. His passenger, Dawn Mitchell, 36, of Salt Lake City, UT, was ejected from the vehicle, landing in the roadway. Neither subjects were wearing a seat belt. Both subjects were transported by ground ambulance to St Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center in Twin Falls with unknown injuries. Roads were dry and clear and alcohol was not believed to be a factor. The crash is being investigated by Trooper M. Faller, with assistance from Troopers Clausing and Pohanka.
