UPDATE:

Idaho State Police say a crash between a dump truck and a semi-truck along Idaho Highway 33 Tuesday afternoon sent a man to the hospital.

The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. at milepost 107 near Newdale, according to an ISP news release.

Troopers say Shane Grende, 57, of St. Anthony was driving westbound in a 1990 Peterbilt dump truck when Jace White, 41, of Idaho Falls, was driving eastbound in a 2021 Peterbilt Semi-truck.

At the time traffic was stopped on the highway because of construction. Investigators say Grende failed to yield to stopped traffic, swerved into the eastbound lanes, and collided with the semi-truck being driven by White.

A private vehicle took Grende to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

The crash blocked the highway for around four and a half hours.
