A serious motorcycle crash involving 25 motorcycles and seven vehicles occurred on Interstate 84 near Caldwell, Idaho, on Saturday.
The incident took place around 2:41 p.m. when motorcyclists were traveling westbound near North Indiana Avenue. Idaho State Police reported that multiple vehicles came to a rest in the westbound lanes following the crash.
