Mary Rotman, 53, of Nampa, was eastbound on I-84 at milepost 54 in a 2007 Ford Escape in lane two. Walter Fisher, 52, of Boise, was also eastbound in a 1999 Kenworth truck in lane one.

Rotman realized she was going to strike the vehicle ahead of her and steered into lane one. The Escape struck the back corner of the Kenworth, struck the median barrier, and then rolled, coming to rest on the median shoulder. The Kenworth stopped farther down the interstate on the right shoulder.

Both Rotman and Fisher were wearing their seatbelts. Rotman was transported to the St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise by ground ambulance. Lanes one and two were blocked for approximately one-and-a-half hours.

The crash is under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
