**Update**

On Saturday, April 27, 2019 at approximately 3:30 p.m., Idaho State Police investigated a single-vehicle, rollover crash on Interstate 15 near milepost 139, about 4 miles north of Roberts.

Alain St. Onge, 62, of Saint-Philippe-de-Neri, Quebec, was driving southbound I-15 near milepost 139 in a 2019 Freightliner semi-truck pulling an empty trailer. Gusting winds in the area caused the truck and trailer to tip over on I-15.

Idaho State Police was assisted at the scene by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Roberts Quick Response Unit, and the Idaho Transportation Department. Local citizens assisted with traffic control until ITD arrived.

Traffic at the scene of the crash was intermittently blocked to remove the crashed vehicle from the road. All lanes are open now at the crash location. Interstate 15 between exit 135 in Roberts and exit 119 in Idaho Falls remains closed in both directions due to high winds and blowing dust causing low visibility.
