NAMPA, Idaho — A crash on I-84 Eastbound created heavy traffic during the morning commute.

The Idaho State Police have reported that two vehicles were involved in the accident, and believe that a grey Ford pickup was driving eastbound when it swerved and suddenly slowed near milepost 40.
A white Lexus attempting to avoid hitting the pickup swerved and collided with a red Kia. The impact caused the Kia to hit the center divider, overturn, and land on its roof.
The Ford pickup continued driving.
The Kia driver, a 37-year-old male from Caldwell, was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Police are asking that anyone with information about the crash or about the grey Ford to call 208-846-7550.

Vehicles were seen backed up onto the Garrity Blvd. entrance ramp, and backed up from N. Robinson Road as far a Northside Blvd.
