Idaho State Police is investigating a vehicle collision that occurred at 6:29 PM on March 17th, 2022, on State Highway 20-26 in Canyon County, east of Caldwell.

A 21-year-old female, from Middleton, was driving a Honda Civic northbound on Midland Blvd. A 48-year-old male, from Yakima, Washington, was driving a Ford F750 with a trailer westbound on State Highway 20-26.

Seatbelts were worn by occupants of both vehicles. The driver of the Honda Civic was pronounced deceased on scene.

Traffic on westbound State Highway 20-26 was blocked for approximately two and a half hours to allow emergency responders to assist those involved and clear the scene.

This incident remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
