Three people were taken to the hospital after a chain-reaction crash involving four vehicles on Idaho 21 Friday night in Boise, about a half mile north of Technology Way.

The crash was reported at about 6:05 p.m.

Ada County Sheriff's Deputy Adam Babbitt said a Ford F-150 was stopped to turn into East Alta Ridge Drive shortly before the crash occurred. There were two vehicles stopped behind the Ford truck ‹ a Toyota truck and a Toyota Camry.

A GMC Acadia traveling north on Idaho 21 came up behind the stopped vehicles, but did not stop. The Acadia hit the Toyota truck, which then hit the Camry, and that hit the Ford truck.

The driver of the Acadia was taken to the hospital, as were two passengers in the Toyota truck. The extent of the injuries was not immediately known.

The driver of the Acadia was cited for following too closely.

"He said he was talking with his wife, and the next thing he knew the vehicle in front of him was stopped," Babbitt said.
