UCON — Idaho State Police are investigating a single vehicle crash that occurred on eastbound U.S. Highway 20 at mile post 314 south of Ucon.
The crash happened at about 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Troopers say a 31-year-old male from Idaho Falls was traveling eastbound on US-20 in a 2006 Dodge Durango hauling a 1995 Kit Manufacturing Company Trailer.
The trailer began to fishtail causing the man to lose control of his vehicle. The Durango then rolled and the trailer came unhitched flipping onto its side. The Durango came to a rest in the westbound lanes while the trailer came to a rest in the eastbound lanes, according to an ISP news release.
