CANYON COUNTY — Idaho State Police is investigating a wrong-way multi-vehicle collision on I-84 in Canyon County that resulted in one fatality on Friday, Feb. 6.
Just before 9 p.m. on Friday, ISP posted on Facebook that the agency was responding to a "major crash" on eastbound I-84 between Caldwell and Nampa.
A Ford truck struck multiple vehicles after traveling westbound on the eastbound travel lanes of I-84.
According to a press release from ISP, at approximately 7:54 p.m., the silver 2003 Ford F350, driven by a 37-year-old from Nampa, sideswiped a 2024 Freightliner Cascadia, driven by a 61-year-old male from Jacksonville, Florida.
The driver of the Freightliner was uninjured.
After swiping the semi-truck, the Nampa driver continued westbound in the eastbound lanes of travel and collided head-on with a silver 2013 Hyundai Elantra near milepost 32. The Hyundai was driven by a 23-year-old male from Ontario, Oregon, with a 20-year-old female passenger from Homedale, Idaho.
A silver 2019 Honda HRV driven by a 23-year-old female from Nampa, with a 20-year-old female passenger from Ontario, Oregon, was also involved in the multi-vehicle collision.
The 20-year-old female Hyundai passenger succumbed to her injuries on scene, ISP said. All others involved in the collision were transported by ground ambulance to local hospitals for their injuries.
All eastbound lanes were blocked for approximately four hours.
ISP was assisted by the Canyon County Sheriff's Office, Meridian Police Department, Canyon County Paramedics, Caldwell Fire Department, and Idaho Transportation Department.
