Three-truck crash Friday night near Caldwell forced eastbound I-84 closure, police say
A late-night crash Friday closed all eastbound traffic on Interstate 84 for about an hour and a half, according to Idaho State Police.
A pickup truck was stopped for traffic behind a semi truck pulling a cattle trailer, which was also halted, when another semi pulling a trailer did not stop, striking the pickup and pushing it into the cattle trailer, according to a news release.
The crash occurred about 11:24 p.m. at milepost 31, east of Caldwell, over a mile south of the Franklin Road exit.
The driver of the pickup, from Nampa, was not wearing a seat belt, police said, while both semi truck drivers were wearing seat belts.
The driver of the semi pulling a cattle trailer was from Weiser, and the driver of the semi that failed to stop was from Hayward, California.
None of the drivers were taken to a hospital.
The crash remains under investigation by state police.
