ELMORE COUNTY, Idaho (KBOI) — Idaho State Police is investigating a semi-truck crash and fire on Interstate 84, east of Mountain Home. All lanes were closed overnight, and westbound lanes were closed for much of the morning.

Both vehicles caught on fire, and the semi was carrying hazardous material, according to Idaho State Police. Nobody was injured in the crash.
The semi was a FedEx truck, which was carrying two trailers of packages. Crews spent around four hours putting out the fire. All the packages were destroyed.
Idaho State Police is continuing to investigate.
