The Incident Response Vehicle was donated to ITD district one from the Boise area to help support I-90 motorists. The vehicle will relieve Idaho State Police from responding to flat tires or other minor roadway emergencies. Some medical equipment will be included, such as an automated external defibrillator will also be in the vehicle to assist in the event of a medical emergency.
