Idaho State Police is investigating a multi-vehicle, non-injury collision which occurred on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at 4:32 P.M., on I84 at mile marker 196.9 in Jerome County.

A 51-year-old-man from Mendon, UT, was driving westbound on I84 in a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado towing a 25-foot boat on a trailer. A 20-year-old woman from Hillsboro, OR, was driving eastbound on I84 in a 2010 Subaru Forester. A 33-year-old-man from Rupert, ID, was also driving eastbound in a 2011 GMC Acadia.

For unknown reasons, the boat trailer detached from the vehicle and traveled into the median. As the Subaru slowed, it was struck from behind by the Acadia, and pushed into the westbound lanes of travel where the vehicle overturned and came to rest.

It is believed all occupants were wearing their seatbelts.

This incident remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
