BOISE -- Idaho State Police say two people were hurt and taken to hospital following a six-vehicle crash on the inbound Connector Thursday morning. A pregnant woman in one of the vehicles was also taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Police say around 8:53 a.m., Lillian Hale, 42 of Caldwell, was eastbound on I-184 in a white Volvo V70 when she stopped just past the Franklin Road exit for traffic due to a crash further ahead. Christina Sipher, 22 of Meridian, was unable to stop her white Ford Ranger and rear-ended Hale. Jerry Hughes, 44 of Nampa, was driving a black Jeep Wrangler and rear-ended Sipher. Jackie Burgess, 68 of Meridian, collided with Hughes, causing the black Jeep to spin in to the left lane. Burgess was driving a grey Lincoln Town. Pamela Halvorson, 64 of Meridian, was traveling in her grey Saturn Ion and side swiped Burgess's grey Lincoln Town car and also collided with the Jeep. Alanna Moore, 29 of Nampa, was in the left most lane when she struck the Jeep as it spun in front of her. Moore was driving a grey Toyota Prius.
Police say all parties involved were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.
Burgess and Halvorson were transported by ambulance to St Alphonsus Regional Medical Center for minor injuries. Moore is pregnant and was transported as a precaution.
Weather is believed to be a factor. At the time of the crash, it was raining and the road was wet.
At least one lane of eastbound I-184 was blocked for about an hour due to the investigation. Both lanes of traffic were reopened at 10:15 a.m.
The crash is still under investigation.
