Tipped semi load closes interstate

All eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 at Wallace were closed for nearly three hours Saturday evening while crews removed the overturned load of a semi-trailer, according to an Idaho State Police spokesman.

A crane had to be brought in to lift the trailer and its load, a 110,000-pound generator that tipped over Saturday morning, blocking one lane.

The crane was moved in around 5 p.m. All eastbound lanes were closed during the operation, which ended around 7:30 p.m.

The ISP had no information about how the accident occurred. There were no injuries, a spokesman said.
