Three vehicle crash on I-84 leaves one injured

A driver going the wrong way caused the initial crash that eventually involved three vehicles on westbound I-84 Friday night.

William G. Martin, 52, of Boise was traveling southbound on Blacks Creek Road in a 2008 Ford Econo Van. Martin unintentionally turned onto the westbound lanes and began to travel in the wrong direction.

He attempted to make a u-turn when he was struck by a 2007 Honda Civic driven by Peter C. Rose, 28, of Everett, Washington. The impact caused Martin's van to overturn onto its side at milepost 64.

Shortly after the initial crash, Rose's vehicle was struck by a 1997 Ford Expedition driven by Ling Yuan Leow, 25, of Mountain Home.   

Rose was transported to St. Luke's Downtown with minor injuries and later released. The other two drivers received no injuries.  All drivers were wearing seatbelts.

Idaho State Police, Ada County Paramedics and the Ada County Fire Department responded to the crash. Traffic was temporarily blocked and then slowed as the crash was investigated.

Authorities have determined  that poor visibility, weather and driving too fast for conditions were a factor in this crash.
