What the National Weather Service wrote

Widespread wind gusts of 50 to 70 mph on the 21st caused a truck to be tipped over on interstate 15 northbound near milepost 41 at 3:15 PM MST on the 21st.

The wider storm

An extremely strong Pacific cold front brought wind gusts in the 50 to 80 mph range with localized blizzard conditions in the mountains and then extremely cold wind chills followed behind an arctic cold frontal passage. Snow amounts in the mountains were generally light and mainly in the 1 to 5 inch range but the combination with the wind brought many road closures to extreme eastern Idaho on the 21st into the 22nd. Some school closures occurred on the 21st and 22nd.
