Boise woman, Meridian man hospitalized after three-vehicle crash on I-84
Two people were hospitalized after a three-vehicle crash Tuesday in Boise.
A 25-year-old Boise woman driving an SUV west on Interstate 84 collided with the back of a slowing semi-truck at about 2:51 p.m., Idaho State Police said in a news release.
Police said the 37-year-old Caldwell man driving the semi had “slowed down for a disabled motorist up ahead.”
The SUV driver then struck a pickup truck driven by a 25-year-old Meridian man, causing the pickup to come to rest in the lanes of the westbound on-ramp of exit 53, according to the release.
First responders transported the drivers of the SUV and pickup truck to a local hospital by ambulance, police said.
Traffic in the far-right lane was blocked for more than an hour as responders helped those involved and cleared the scene.
State police are investigating the accident.
