A 1997 Chevrolet Suburban, driven by a 26-year-old male from Plummer, ID was traveling northbound when he lost control and rolled off the right shoulder. The driver was ejected and not wearing a seatbelt. The driver had been transported by ground ambulance to a local hospital. Alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
