Idaho-based trucker ordered to shut down following crash, DUI charges
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has effectively shut down an Idaho-based truck driver after a crash in which he was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of more than three times the legal limit for CDL holders.
Shane R. Warr was driving on I-15 in Pocatello, Idaho, on Feb. 3, when his truck crossed the median and struck two passenger vehicles, with one of the drivers requiring transport to a hospital.
Warr submitted to two breathalyzer tests conducted by Idaho State Police at the scene of the crash. Conducted minutes apart, the first test returned a BAC of 0.132; the second 0.124. The legal BAC limit for CDL holders is 0.04.

Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ: NKLA) extended its timeline Tuesday to show when it will begin producing zero-emission hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks. But the startup offered no new information on customer orders.
The cabover Tre model originally planned only for Europe will be the first to get a fuel cell after initial production of battery-electric models. Low-volume production of hand-built Tre models will begin in the second quarter at Nikola s plant still under construction in the Arizona desert.
