Idaho State Troopers are investigating a single-vehicle rollover reported at 9:52 a.m. on southbound U.S. 91, north of Blackfoot in Bingham County.
A box truck hauling a load of chairs ran off the road causing the truck to overturn. The rollover caused the chairs to scatter off the side of the roadway. Troopers on scene were told the chairs were intended for delivery to the Eastern Idaho Fair.
The driver of the truck, a 19-year-old man from Idaho Falls was the only occupant. He suffered what appeared to be minor injuries and was treated on scene.
