Idaho State Trooper injured in a chain-reaction traffic accident

An Idaho State Trooper and one other person was injured after a chain reaction traffic accident early Monday morning.

Idaho State Patrol said the accident, involving fours cars, happened around 7:30 a.m. near the intersection of Highway 55 and Middleton Rd.

According to reports, three cars were sitting at the intersection with a patrol car last in line. The driver of the fourth car rear-ended the patrol car, which then set off a domino effect causing damage to all four cars.

The driver of the fourth car that caused the accident and the state trooper were injured. They were both taken to St. Alphonsus Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The other drivers had minor injuries.

One lane of northbound Middleton Road was closed for two hours. Police don’t believe alcohol was involved in the accident.

Auto accidents can happen suddenly, just taking your eyes of the road for a moment can end up costing thousands of dollars and cause personal injury to another. While some injuries can be minor, an accident can cost a person their life or severe injuries, causing them to lose income and accumulate medical bills. But an Idaho accident attorney can assure that accident victims will be justly compensated for their pain.

Victims of traffic accidents will find that hiring an accident lawyer after their accident will result in a favorable settlement from the negligent driver that caused then harm or destruction to their property.

Car accident attorneys have the necessary skills to win large dollar lawsuits on behalf of their clients, so they can cover their medical care costs and their everyday expenses.
