The Kenworth rolled, rupturing the fuel tanks. The trailers were fully engulfed. The North Custer Fire Department was able to contain the diesel spill; however, the fire burned for nearly five hours and the highway was closed until it was safe for travel.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">The woman was not wearing a seat belt and died at the crash scene. The truck driver who was wearing a seat belt was able to exit the Kenworth without any injuries. The crash is still under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
