Ogden man dies in fiery crash with semi-truck near Bliss Idaho

BLISS, Idaho (ABC4) — A 69-year-old Ogden man died in a fiery crash Wednesday after colliding with a semi-truck on I-84 near Bliss, Idaho.

According to Idaho State Police, just after 12:30 p.m. the Ogden man was driving a 2019 Nissan Frontier when he crossed over the highway median. The Nissan then crashed into a semi-truck that was pulling a utility trailer. Both vehicles caught fire following the collision.

The occupants of the semi-truck included a 43-year-old man (driver) from Ozone Park, New York and a 23-year-old man (passenger) from Indianapolis, Indiana. Both occupants of the semi-truck were wearing seatbelts, police say, and were not transported to the hospital. It is unclear if the Ogden man was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Multiple lanes of I-84 were blocked off for about six hours before reopening as crews cleared the scene. Idaho State Police is currently investigating the cause of the crash.
