Serious crash on I-84 shuts down both directions

A multiple vehicle crash this (Tues) morning, caused big delays and shut down I-84 in both directions, throughout the morning hours.

The crash happened around 7:30, westbound on I-84 at the Five Mile overpass (Mile post 48).

It involved a semi that was hauling lumber, which flipped on it’s side, went partially into the eastbound lanes, caught fire and burned for quite some time.

It appeared at least 2 other cars were involved, and another semi jack-knifed near the front of the crash also.

Numerous agencies, including Idaho State Police remained on the scene to investigate, clear the vehicles and repair the center barrier.

Some lanes of I-84 eastbound and westbound began opening around noon.

There’s been no word as to injuries or other details of the crash. We will continue to provide updates as information is released.
