An Idaho highway was snowed in, so crews cleared a path for this fuel tanker

On Wednesday morning, the Idaho Transportation Department came to the rescue of a fuel truck that needed to make a delivery in Teton Valley, EastIdahoNews.com reports.

U.S. 26 and Idaho 33 are closed due to severe weather conditions in Eastern Idaho but the Grandview General Store needed replenishing and Berry Oil was ready to deliver.

An ITD crew met up with the fuel truck at Idaho 33 in Madison County and cleared a path in the deep snow from Newdale to Tetonia. Photos show the snow was nearly as tall as the tanker.

“A big thank you to Luke Richins and his crew at ITD for helping get the residents of Teton Valley the fuel products they need,” Matt Berry with Berry Oil Fuel tells EastIdahoNews.com.

Here are some photos from Berry that show what conditions were like in the area.

Officials with Idaho Transportation Department helped clear a route on Idaho 33 on Wednesday morning to let Matt Berry, with Berry Oil Fuel, make a much-needed delivery to Tetonia.
