On Tuesday, December 16th, at approximately 5:41 A.M., the Idaho State Police investigated a three-vehicle injury crash at the bottom of the eastbound Interstate 84 off ramp at Gowen Road, in Boise, ID.

Nohman Javed, 24, of West Valley, UT, was driving west on Gowen Road in a 2012 Volvo commercial vehicle, pulling a Great Dane trailer. Alfredo M. Hernandez, 54, of Kuna, ID., was stationary at the bottom of the off ramp, waiting to make a left-hand turn onto Gowen Road in a 1983 Buick Skylark. Richard J. Fern, 62, of Meridian, ID., was stationary at the bottom of the off ramp, waiting to make a right-hand turn onto Gowen Road in a 2007 Ford Explorer. As Javed approached the intersection of Gowen Road at the off ramp, he drove out of his lane of travel and struck the driver's side of Hernandez's vehicle, pushing Hernandez's vehicle into Fern's vehicle.

All occupants were wearing seatbelts. Hernandez was transported by ground ambulance to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, ID.

Gowen Road and the eastbound Interstate 84 off ramp were blocked for approximately 2 hours.
