BOISE, Idaho — Idaho State Police troopers were investigating several crashes on eastbound I-84 east of Boise Friday morning, following an overnight storm that brought a fresh layer of snow to the Treasure Valley and the mountains.
Multiple crashes occurred near milepost 65, which is about two miles past the Black's Creek exit.
ISP advised that winter driving conditions are in effect for that area, but much of the snow had turned to slush by 10 a.m., when the Idaho Transportation Department's 511 website indicated slush and icy patches on I-84 between Boise and Mountain Home, and slush and snow on the road between Mountain Home and Glenns Ferry.
ISP troopers earlier Friday morning also responded to a crash that blocked three lanes of westbound I-84 near the Orchard Street exit in Boise. All lanes have reopened.
Further information about what happened or if anyone was injured is not immediately available. This story will be updated.
