According to the Idaho State Police, the accident happened at 1:11 p.m. Thursday, April 16th, near milepost 63.

Investigators report that Tingley was driving a 2020 Volvo tractor when, for some unknown reason, the vehicle drifted off the right shoulder. The semi-truck struck a nearby hillside and overturned, eventually coming to rest on top of a guardrail.

While Tingley was wearing his seatbelt, he died of his injuries at the scene of the crash.

“My heart is with Shawn’s friends and family as they mourn the loss of their loved one,” said Danner. 

The incident remains under investigation by Idaho State Police.
