On May 2, 2014 at approximately 4:54 p.m., the Idaho State Police investigated a three-vehicle crash westbound I-84 at milepost 46, near the Eagle exit. Jared Gardner, 31, of Nampa, was westbound in a 2002 Saab 93. Mckensie Knopp, 19, of Burley, was behind Gardner in a 2012 Nissan Altima. Both Gardner and Knopp were stopped in the far left lane for traffic. John Knipe, 16, of Boise, was also in the far left lane in a 1996 Toyota pickup. Knipe did not stop and struck the back of Knopp's vehicle, which was pushed into Gardner's vehicle.

Knopp was transported to St. Alphonsus in Nampa by ground ambulance. All drivers were wearing their seatbelts. The left two lanes were blocked for approximately an hour and a half. The crash is under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
