BOISE, Idaho — Three people were injured in a crash when the driver of a 2014 Kenworth semi-truck hauling a potato trailer collided with a 2012 BMW rear-ended the 2021 Ford Transit van, Idaho State Police said.
The multi-vehicle crash happened Thursday, Sep 41, eastbound on i-84 near the mile marker 181 in Jerome county.
