Meridien, ID (October 1, 2024) – Idaho State Police troopers reported a rollover crash that occurred on Interstate 84 eastbound near South Eagle Road just before the Eagle Exit on Tuesday morning, October 1.

The Idaho Transportation Department added that other motorists should consider an alternative route, as emergency vehicles were at the scene. According to local authorities, the incident occurred around 6:25 a.m. EMTs were dispatched shortly thereafter and those with injuries were taken to area hospitals, though the total number of injured victims is unknown. The eastbound lanes were closed for about two hours as the on-scene inquiry into the crash wrapped up. No further details were released, however, and an investigation is still ongoing.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.

Rollover Crashes in Idaho

Rollover incidents are among the most lethal and terrifying types of collisions that can occur on Idaho roads. Rollover collisions are responsible for approximately 33% of all motor vehicle fatalities, despite the fact that they only account for approximately 3% of all incidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Survivors of rollover accidents frequently endure severe injuries and everlasting physical limitations, in addition to the substantial expenses associated with such accidents.

Through a personal injury lawsuit or claim for damages, rollover accident victims may be entitled to compensation for their injuries or those of their loved ones.
