The semi-truck struck Maples’ 1998 Toyota Sienna van on the driver’s side as she attempted to make a left turn north from Dufort Road onto the highway. Maples was declared deceased at the scene, Idaho State Police said in the press release.
Parmar was not injured. Airbags deployed on the van and seatbelts were worn by both drivers.
