Crashes cause delays on I-90

Car crashes on westbound and eastbound Interstate 90 near the state line snarled traffic for hours beginning about 5 p.m. Friday.

Three cars collided in the eastbound lanes around 5 p.m., and two cars crashed in the westbound lanes about 20 minutes later, according to the Idaho State Police. Emergency crews transported victims from the first crash to the hospital and tow trucks cleared the wreckage.

Injuries sustained in the crashes were not life threatening, police said.
