🌅 Here’s your Monday look at the latest news, local sports, traffic information and weather across the Magic Valley.
Drivers in the Burley area should be aware of several access changes beginning today. 🚗⚠️
Burley Avenue access is closed from:
📍 Fruitland
📍 4100 North — also known as Deep Creek Road
📍 1400 East — Castleford Road
Drivers should plan alternate routes and follow all posted detour signs. 🚧
Meanwhile, a potato truck overturned Saturday on Balance Rock Road near Castleford. 🥔🚛 Authorities say a mechanical failure caused the truck to roll backward while traveling uphill before tipping over.
One lane was temporarily blocked, but no injuries were reported. Twin Falls County deputies and Castleford firefighters responded to the scene.
Twin Falls County deputies are asking the public for help identifying a driver involved in a reported road-rage incident near Filer. 🚨
Authorities are looking for a dark-colored Chevy Silverado crew cab with:
🔹 Roof marker lights
🔹 Chrome bumpers
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office at 208-735-1911.
Twin Falls Police officers will face no criminal charges following two separate reviews.
Prosecutors determined that the April shooting involving Colton Copeland was justified. They also found insufficient evidence to charge an officer over the use of force during the August 1 Canyon Park West mass shooting.
Twin Falls is also moving forward with plans for a permanent memorial honoring the victims of the August 1 In-N-Out shooting.
The shooting killed three people and wounded seven others. The Idaho Community Foundation has donated $20,000 to begin fundraising, and city officials say the community will have a role in shaping the memorial. 🕊️
Governor Brad Little says storing spent nuclear fuel over the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer is a "nonstarter" as Idaho continues discussions surrounding a possible nuclear innovation campus.
Federal officials say hosting such a campus would require the host state to accept spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste from other states.
Little says Idaho has not committed to hosting the project, no location has been selected, and firm safety guarantees would be required before he would sign a final agreement. ☢️
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine has issued new guidance for doctors caring for patients experiencing high-risk pregnancies in states with abortion restrictions.
The recommendations include establishing out-of-state referral networks, counseling patients about treatment options and coordinating with hospital legal teams to clarify what care is permitted.
The organization says uncertainty surrounding abortion restrictions can contribute to delays in treatment for patients experiencing serious complications.
A major change involving fire protection and emergency medical services is coming to the Wood River Valley.
The Blaine County South and Ketchum fire districts are scheduled to merge Thursday, October 1, creating the Blaine County Fire District. 🚒
Residents will continue calling 911, and emergency services will continue operating from the same stations.
The merger will combine leadership, training and budgeting under one command structure.
Hailey voters will decide in November whether their community will join the district.
Boise State University is moving forward with plans to explore development on parking lots east of Albertsons Stadium. 🏟️
University President David Hahn announced plans to study possibilities that could include:
🏨 A hotel
🏠 Housing
🛍️ Shops
🍽️ Restaurants
The university is seeking an advisor to study the development options and potential revenue.
