On October 27, 2009 at approximately 4:00 a.m., the Idaho State Police responded to a vehicle versus pedestrian crash westbound on I84 at mile marker 176, in Jerome County.

Ricky T. Swensen, 44 of Heyburn, apparently had problems with his vehicle while traveling westbound on Interstate 84. Swensen left his vehicle and was walking in the westbound lane of I84, when he was struck by a semi pulling three trailers being driven by Richard F. Gebhardt, 64 of Meridian.

Swensen was thrown onto the north side of the interstate, and was pronounced dead at the scene.  Gebhardt was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this crash.

The incident is under investigation by Tpr. Pohanka with assistance from Sgt. Haight, Master Specialist Winn, Tpr. Kilton and the Jerome County Sheriff’s Office.
