On August 19, 2013, at approximately 3:42 p.m., Idaho State police investigated a crash in the southbound lanes of Interstate 15, near the 119 on ramp, in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Rayman M. Saddatov, 25, of Dayton, OH, was driving on the ramp from westbound US 20, onto southbound Interstate 15 in a 2014 Kenworth commercial vehicle, pulling a 2014 Stoughton trailer. Saddatov failed to negotiate the curve of the ramp. The truck overturned onto Interstate 15.

Southbound traffic is currently being diverted from Interstate 15 at milepost 135, into Roberts and onto US 20, as recovery crews work to right the truck and clean the crash site.

The crash investigation is continuing.
