NOTUS — Two people were taken to the hospital Friday morning after a semi crash in Canyon County.

The wreck happened just before 10 a.m. at the intersection of Purple Sage and Conway roads near Notus.

According to Idaho State Police, the semi driver, Marcos Serna Castillo, 61, of Pasco, Wash., was southbound on Conway Road in a 1999 Freightliner semi pulling a single trailer. Colton Doramus, 19, of Caldwell, was westbound on Purple Sage Road in a 2007 Subaru Legacy. There was a juvenile passenger in his vehicle.

The Freightliner did not yield at a stop sign and collided with the Subaru in the intersection. The semi went off the road and through a fence and struck a parked vehicle, which was pushed into other parked vehicles. The semi also struck a power pole.

The two people in the Subaru were taken by ground ambulance to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Police say they were wearing seatbelts.

Power was out in the area for several hours. About 80 customers were affected.

The road was blocked for about four and a half hours while crews worked to clear the scene.

Fog may have contributed to the crash, according to police.
