On July 11, 2015, at approximately 5:51 p.m., Idaho State Police investigated a single-vehicle injury crash on northbound Interstate 15 near milepost 107, just south of the Shelley exit. Xiao Feng, 53, of China, was traveling northbound in a 2015 Jeep when his vehicle drifted off the left side of the road and into the median. Feng overcorrected, crossed both northbound lanes of traffic, went off the right shoulder, and rolled the vehicle.

Run Feng, 24, and Yiwen Li, 52, both of China, were not wearing seatbelts and were ejected. Feng and his other passenger, Qing Zhang, 25, also of China, were wearing seatbelts and were not ejected. All four occupants were transported by ground ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls. The right lane was blocked for just over an hour as crews worked to clear the scene. Idaho State Police were assisted by Bingham County Sheriff's Office. This crash is under investigation by Idaho State Police.
