A truck driver from Ohio was killed Tuesday morning near Eden when his rig collided with another on Interstate 84, according to the Idaho State Police.
The crash happened about 10:40 a.m., in the eastbound lanes of the Interstate at milepost 187.
The ISP says David Wetmore, 57, of Irrigon, Oregon, was traveling westbound on Interstate 84 in a commercial vehicle. Corey McCaslin, 39, of Port Washington, Ohio, was traveling eastbound in a 2015 Peterbilt commercial vehicle.
Wetmore crossed over the center line in the construction zone and struck McCaslin's vehicle, an ISP news release said.
