Recently, in September 2024, one semi-truck collision made headlines in Nampa, Idaho, for shutting down I-84 due to a dangerous fuel spill.
If you suffered injuries in any truck crash, never hesitate to contact our Nampa truck accident lawyers at Andrew Injury Law today for a free case evaluation.
The following is some information from Nampa authorities and news sources regarding the recent semi-truck collision on I-84 that resulted in a fuel spill.
Authorities reported that they closed Westbound I-84 between Northside Boulevard and Karcher/Midland on September 25, 2024, due to a semi-truck’s fuel tank that leaked across the interstate. Emergency crews had to engage in an immediate cleanup of the fuel before they could safely reopen this section of I-84.
The collision that caused the fuel leak happened just after 8:00 p.m., and authorities did not announce the reopening of the I-84 on social media until 1:20 a.m.
According to reports, a 2023 International semi-truck with a 2019 Great Dane trailer sideswiped a 2003 Oldsmobile when attempting to change lanes on Westbound I-84. The Oldsmobile hit the truck’s fuel tank, causing it to leak onto the interstate.
Authorities did not report any physical injuries to motorists due to the truck crash. However, the fuel spill itself might have caused other types of harm.
As of yet, any lasting environmental impact in Nampa is unknown from this particular incident. Emergency crews worked to clean up the fuel quickly to minimize environmental damage, though there might be unreported fallout.
Drivers heading westbound on I-84 were forced to exit at Northside Boulevard (Exit 35), and they were then allowed to reenter I-84 at Karcher/Midland (Exit 33).
Police reported significant delays and advised drivers to avoid the area altogether. The impact on businesses is not widely known, though any business owners who sustained harm due to the crash-related closure should discuss their situations with a truck accident lawyer.
The Nampa Police Department was on the scene to assess the situation, set up the road closures, and divert traffic. Emergency responders were there to both attend to accident victims as needed, and specialized crews engaged in cleanup efforts regarding the fuel spill.
As of yet, Nampa authorities have not announced any specific measures to prevent truck accidents on this stretch of I-84. We will watch for any updates and keep readers informed.
Truck crashes usually lead to complicated injury claims, but the situation can become far more challenging when a fuel spill or other widespread environmental concerns and harm are involved. If you’ve been involved in a truck accident in Nampa – with or without a fuel spill – never wait to seek the guidance of experienced truck accident attorneys and a Personal Injury Lawyer in Nampa who can help fight for the compensation you deserve.

Matt was very helpful in explaining the law and setting realistic expectations about my mothers case. He listened to the facts and gave solid advice about what to do next. I know his time is valuable and limited so I appreciated his complementary consultation and advice. I will definitely turn to him in the future.
