Idaho State Police are investigating a two-vehicle collision that occurred on Friday afternoon on Interstate 84. The crash involved a 26-year-old male driving a 1998 Freightliner semi-truck loaded with manure, and a juvenile passenger. The Freightliner was struck from behind by a 49-year-old male from Clovis, California, driving a 2013 Freightliner loaded with cane molasses, causing the 1998 Freightliner to catch on fire in the center median.
