A 26-year-old Utah man has been killed in a single-vehicle rollover in Idaho. The Idaho State Patrol says Chet Atkinson of Weston died in the crash on Highway 36 near Preston about 6:40 p.m. Sunday. Troopers say he was headed east in a Dodge pickup truck when he drifted off the south side of the highway near mile marker 132. Investigators say he apparently over-corrected before he crashed through a guard rail and rolled down an embankment. Atkinson was not wearing a seat belt. He was ejected from the truck and died at the scene. The accident remains under investigation.
