NEW MEADOWS, ID – A 25-year-old Caldwell man was killed Thursday night in a single-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 95 just north of New Meadows, according to the Idaho State Police.
The crash occurred at about 9:09 p.m. when the man, driving a blue 2005 Kia Rio southbound on U.S. 95, lost control of his vehicle, which rolled and struck a power pole. Debris from the damaged pole was then hit by three other vehicles — a white 2016 Ford Expedition, a gray 2002 Ford F-250, and a white 1990 International semi-truck.
All lanes of US95 were blocked in the area due to the crash and downed power lines.
State Police said the driver of the Kia died from his injuries. He was wearing a seat belt.
The highway was blocked for approximately four hours while emergency crews responded and cleared the scene. Idaho Power, the Idaho Transportation Department, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, and Meadows Valley Fire assisted at the scene.
