Monday morning in Southern Idaho at approximately 8 AM on eastbound I86 west of Pocatello, Idaho State Police responded to a multi-vehicle accident near milepost 56. ISP is investigating the accident:

A thick layer of fog covered the interstate causing limited visibility in a short amount of time. Due to the fog, vehicles slowed down suddenly. Commercial and personal vehicles collided with one another causing a chain reaction of approximately thirty vehicles.

Minor injuries were reported with one person being transported to a local hospital via ground ambulance, and several others transported by personal vehicles.
