Boise, ID (October 31, 2024) – Troopers with the Idaho State Police (ISP) say a commercial vehicle crash took place in Boise on Thursday evening, October 31, resulting in an unknown number of victim injuries.

According to the local officials, the incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. near Ustick Road, just west of Linder Road. It appears that a truck driver and one or two other passenger vehicles were involved in the incident, though it's unclear how many victims were ultimately transferred to the hospital. ISP provided no additional information regarding victims' injuries or conditions. However, an inquiry remains ongoing, and witnesses were asked to come forward as soon as possible.

Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their complete recovery.

Truck Accidents in Idaho

Hundreds of thousands of semi-trucks and big rigs traverse America's roadways at any given time, particularly given the rise of online commerce and global shipments in the modern economy. Unfortunately, around 159,000 individuals were hurt in truck-related incidents in one recent year alone, with 5,000 of them losing their lives. A typical semi-truck weighs more than 10,000 pounds. Large trucks have bigger blind spots and need more time to stop than vehicles. Add in human error from drivers, who often put in lengthy hours behind the wheel, and the possibility of disastrous crashes increases significantly.

You'll undoubtedly have many questions about the accident, injuries received, medical bills, and other expenditures if you or someone you know is in a trucking accident. These are some frequently asked questions about trucking accidents. After all, tractor-trailer and large truck accidents are typically much more serious than an average vehicle crash, so it's essential to have an advocate in the aftermath.
