Westbound I-84 reopened after box truck overturns

Crews used a crane to lift the toppled truck back up onto its wheels.

BOISE, Idaho — Westbound Interstate 84 is back open after a box truck tipped over, landing on its side across all lanes Monday morning.

The crash happened in Boise just before the exit to Gowen Road. The entire westbound side of the interstate was blocked.

The toppled Ryder rental truck caused significant delays, with interstate travelers diverted by on the right shoulder.

Ada County Dispatch says an ambulance was sent out to the wreck, but dispatchers were unable to say if the truck driver or anyone else was transported to the hospital. 

Crews were able to use a crane to lift the truck back up onto its wheels.

The Treasure Valley has been dealing with windy conditions, but officials have not yet said whether wind gusts played any role in the crash. A trooper in Idaho State Police's Jerome District responded to a different semi rollover that he said was caused by the wind. No one was inside that truck when it blew over, according to police.

ISP is asking drivers to slow down and use extra caution in windy conditions.
