Idaho State Police are investigating a crash on I-84 around midnight, near Jerome.

Police say a white 2009 Nissan Versa, with an unidentified driver, was traveling eastbound on I-84 in the left lane.  A FedEx semi-truck pulling two semi-trailers, driven by George A. Gunshore, of Melba, was also traveling eastbound in the right lane.  Investigators say as Gunshore was passing the Nissan, the driver quickly made a lane change into the right lane.  The Nissan hit the rear tire on the driver's side of the second semi trailer and upon impact spun into the median.
