BOISE, ID : 6-car crash sends 1 to hospital, closes portion of 1-84 in Boise on Friday, 6th March, 2020

Idaho State Police are investigating a six-vehicle crash that sent one man to the hospital and closed a portion of eastbound Interstate 84 Friday morning, near the Five Mile overpass in Boise.

According to police, Angela Vaughan, 42, of Meridian had been driving at milepost 47 about 6:40 a.m. when her 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe blew its left tire.

Vaughan stopped her car in the second eastbound lane, police said. This caused Billy Korsen, 31, of Kuna, who was driving directly behind her, to stop his 2006 Ford F-150 pickup.

Korsen’s pickup then was struck by a 2005 GMC Envoy, driven by Robert Von Merta, 31, of Gaston, Oregon, police said. A chain of crashes soon followed.
