The accident involved a loaded logging truck, driven by 26-year-old Ryan Kiely of Lewiston Idaho. The log truck, a 2014 Kenworth, was traveling westbound on Grangemont Road, when negotiating a corner an equipment failure caused the load to break loose and flip the trailer. Kiely steered his truck into the ditch to avoid a collision with oncoming traffic. A self-loading log truck, a secondary log truck and a heavy wrecker responded to the scene to clear the roadway. All logs and trucks were cleared from the scene and the road re-opened to traffic at approximately 1519 hours.
