Hay fire Interstate 86
----------------------------
Troopers with the Idaho State Police, Power County Sheriff's deputies, and firefighters from the Power County Fire District, Cassia County Fire District, Declo, and Rockland Fire Departments are on scene of a hay truck fire on westbound Interstate 86 near Raft River.
At this time, westbound travel on I-86 near the Coldwater Hill is closed to allow firefighters to extinguish the flames still smoldering in the large hay bales. The triple trailer hauling the hay is a total loss. The driver of the truck, a man from Rupert is not hurt.
The fire was reported at approximately 4:56 p.m. The truck driver reports he was traveling westbound when a passing truck driver notified him via radio that hay bales on the trailer were on fire. The driver pulled to the right shoulder and tried to extinguish the fire but it spread quickly and soon engulfed all three trailer loads. The flames also caused a small grass fire.
A farmer working nearby responded and offered his backhoe to help push the hay off the trailers, spreading out the bales to allow firefighters better access. Troopers on scene say the farmer's assistance was timely and very helpful in containing the fire.
Westbound lanes between Exit 21 and Eastbound Coldwater Rest Area (16 to 18 miles west of the American Falls area) remain closed to allow for firefighting efforts and to clear the scene. At this time, it's unknown when westbound lanes will reopen. Monitor @ISPEasternIdaho on Twitter for travel updates.

The Buick was occupied by a 21-year-old female driver who was wearing her seatbelt. The driver of the Kia was transported to a nearby hospital by ground ambulance.
All westbound lanes of the I-84 were blocked for approximately one hour and thirty minutes to allow emergency responders to assist those involved.
Evidence was found on scene to indicate that alcohol may have been involved in this crash. That evidence is part of the ongoing investigation.

This incident remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police.

Update on news release content following vehicle crashes

IDAHO STATE POLICE NEWS RELEASE

Update on news release content following vehicle crashes
----------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who follow ISP's news releases, you'll notice some updates to the content of those releases involving vehicle collisions. It has been a lengthy and careful process to find a practice that best serves public information needs regarding traffic incidents and traffic safety that is balanced with the need to maintain the integrity of crash investigations and protect against an unwarranted invasion of patient or personal privacy.
News releases including a general summary of what occurred will continue to be shared in as timely a manner as possible following the incident. Traffic alerts of lane or road blockages will continue to be shared with the public as these incidents are in progress through ISP District Twitter accounts (see below).
In addition to a general summary of what occurred, a description of vehicles involved and ages, genders, and hometowns, as known, will also continue to be shared in these immediate releases.
What will no longer be shared in the immediate releases on vehicle incidents are the names of people involved and what hospital any patients are transported to. Releasing the names of all individuals involved while the investigation is ongoing has been found to be a potential interference in those investigations, and it is essential for all involved that investigations proceed unobstructed. It's also a step to protect the privacy of those involved, including those who may be victims, witnesses, or under investigation for being responsible for a crash, as well as patient medical privacy. These updates also bring ISP's procedure regarding vehicle crash releases in line with a number of other Idaho law enforcement agencies that regularly issue news releases following vehicle crashes.
Idaho State Police also appreciate the Idaho State Association of County Coroners and their members statewide who assist with the necessary and often difficult task of confirming the identity of those deceased as a result of a vehicle collision and confirming next of kin has been notified. Local county coroners are also now taking on the task of making public the names of decedents involved in vehicle crashes.
The purpose of public releases following a vehicle collision is to inform the public of what occurred. It's also hoped that, as unfortunate and tragic as these incidents are, that they serve to remind us of the importance of safe driving behavior, of awareness of laws intended to increase traffic safety, and of the need of communities to make traffic safety a priority that will save lives.
Thank you for your support.
