Update: Idaho 16 reopens to traffic after semi crashes into car on highway near Eagle

Law enforcement reopened all lanes of a highway northwest of Boise after a semi-truck collided with a vehicle on Monday

At about 12:15 p.m., the semi rear-ended a car in the southbound lanes of Idaho Highway 16, which caused the car to go into a ditch on its side, Ada County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Patrick Orr told the Idaho Statesman by email.

Deputies closed both directions of the road between Idaho 44 and West Beacon Light Road, just south of Floating Feather Road, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office posted on social media.

“It appears no one was badly hurt in the crash,” the sheriff’s office said.

The sheriff’s office said all lanes had been opened back up to traffic on Monday evening.

The crash occurred Monday afternoon.
