UPDATE:
An update on the accident this last Saturday on I84. For those wondering, this was a memorial ride for a man who did so much in this community all while battling his own war with cancer. This was a serious accident with 16 motorcycle riders sent to area hospitals with approximately 20 motorcycles down. We had a few that had to be life flighted. The good news is only 5 remain in the hospital and are stable. We had several vehicles as well involved in this mayhem. There are a lot of rumors out there about what exactly happened. I would ask that you not play into the rumors and let those who need to…investigate and handle the situation. Our EMT’s did a great job of triage on sight and getting those riders to the hospital. Hats off to our life flight crews because navigating crane’s, people and major backup on the interstate in a small space was not an easy task.
Let’s all just be very thankful we had no deaths Saturday. Motorcycles, cars etc can be replaced, humans cannot.
We had a couple of other accidents happening at about the same time. We lost a young man in a motorcycle accident on Hwy 55 and another couple hurt in an accident in Caldwell. Continue to do what we Idahoans do best and send them great thoughts and healing right now.
Thank you.
