BOISE, Idaho — One person was taken to the hospital after a chain-reaction crash Monday morning on Highway 55 near the south end of Horseshoe Bend.
Idaho State Police responded around 9 a.m. to a collision that involved four vehicles and a building.
Troopers say the driver of a commercial truck hauling lumber was northbound on the highway and appears to have lost control. He rear-ended a pickup truck that went off the road and into a building. Police say the driver of the pickup was taken to a nearby hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The lumber truck also collided with a small SUV, pushing the SUV onto the trailer of the vehicle just ahead.
Police say all occupants were wearing seatbelts.
The driver of the lumber truck, Ronald J. Peeples, 42, of Meridian, was cited with reckless driving, a misdemeanor.
Traffic near the crash scene was slow for around three hours. The incident was cleared just before noon.
