Idaho State Police seek witnesses to I-84 crash that killed young Meridian boy
Idaho State Police are seeking witnesses to a fatal crash on Interstate 84 that snarled traffic across the Treasure Valley for hours on Tuesday afternoon.
In a news release Friday, police said they are looking for information, witnesses and video regarding the crash, which happened just after 3 p.m. near Robinson Road in Nampa. Graham Summers, a 7-year-old boy from Meridian, was killed in the accident, the Idaho Statesman previously reported.
The accident occurred when a black GMC Sierra pickup truck heading west on I-84 rear-ended a white Ford F450 Box Truck, the Statesman previously reported. The pickup truck was driven by a 31-year-old Meridian man with more than one juvenile passengers, according to ISP.
Online fundraisers for the Summers family identified the pickup’s driver as Graham’s father, Austin Summers, and said the other two passengers were Graham’s younger brothers. Those three were taken to area hospitals, police said.
The driver of the box truck was a 21-year-old Nampa man, who was uninjured, according to ISP.
State police are still investigating the crash. Individuals with information were directed Friday to contact ISP Dispatch at 208-846-7500.
Police were unable to provide information on the condition of those hospitalized, an ISP spokesperson told the Statesman in a text message.
