On Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at approximately 9:05 a.m., Idaho State Police investigated a three-vehicle, injury crash westbound I184 at milepost 1, in Boise. Troopers were already on scene of a separate property damage crash at this location.

James Cherry, 65, of Middleton, was parked on the right shoulder in a 2013 Ford F350 emergency response truck with its emergency lights activated. Roger Campbell, 60, of Boise, was driving slowly in the left lane in a 2013 Chevy Silverado with its emergency lights activated. Campbell is with the Idaho Transportation Department and was evaluating a water hazard in the area. Caleb Durrence, 33, of Boise, was in the left lane in a 2006 Chevy HHR. Rachel Applebaum, 27, of Richland, WA, was in the second lane from the left in a 2013 Subaru Forester. Durrence made a lane change into the second lane from the left due to slowing traffic in the left lane. The Subaru impacted the passenger side of the Chevy HHR. The Subaru then crossed to the right shoulder and impacted the driver's side of the Ford.

Durrence was not wearing a seatbelt; all other drivers were wearing seatbelts. Durrence was transported to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise by ground ambulance. Traffic was reduced to one lane of travel for approximately one hour while crews worked to clear the scene.

The crash is under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
