BOISE, Idaho — Nearly 80 car crashes were reported by Idaho State Police's (ISP) District 3, from Payette to Mountain Home along Interstate 84, between Friday and Saturday.

ISP responded to 78 crashes, 10 with injuries and three hit-and-runs. Additionally, 92 slide-offs and 60 motor assists were reported in District 3, according to a tweet from ISP.

Severe winter weather covered the Treasure Valley in around nine inches of snow over the weekend. Wet snow and rain will continue through Monday and make for hazardous driving conditions.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for several Ida counties until Tuesday morning.

The snowy conditions and slippery roads led to dozens of slide-offs and traffic incidents on Friday, shutting down the Connector in Boise in the morning and closing I-84 on Friday evening.
