Two Vehicle Crash on Eastbound I-84 at Milepost 40 Near McDermott Rd

MERIDIAN, Idaho - The Idaho State Police (ISP) is investigating an early morning vehicle crash on eastbound I-84 at milepost 40 near McDermott Rd.

At about 5:50 a.m. this morning, ISP troopers responded to the report of a car crash on eastbound I-84 at milepost 40 near McDermott Rd. Responding troopers located two involved vehicles and believe a grey Ford pickup was driving eastbound on I-84 when it swerved and suddenly slowed. A white Lexus also swerved to avoid hitting the pickup and collided with a red Kia. The collision caused the Kia to hit the barrier, overturn, and end up stopped on its roof. The Ford continued driving.

The Kia driver, a 37-year-old Caldwell man, was wearing his seatbelt and was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Ada County Sheriff's Office and Canyon County Sheriff's Office assisted at the scene.

Two eastbound lanes were blocked for about one and a half hours.

Troopers would like more information about what led to the crash and ask anyone with information about the grey Ford to call (208) 846-7550.
