NAMPA, ID — Three people were injured Monday morning in a four-vehicle crash at Middleton Road and Lake Lowell Avenue, according to Nampa Police. Dispatchers received multiple calls just after 9:45 a.m. reporting an injury crash at the intersection. Emergency crews responded and found three injured people at the scene. Police said one of them was a pregnant woman who was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Two other injured people were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The crash shut down the busy area long enough for responders and investigators to work the scene. Nampa Police have not released the names of the people involved. The condition of the pregnant woman was the most serious injury reported in the crash. Authorities said the investigation is continuing.
Crash at the Intersection
Police said the collision involved four vehicles, making it one of the larger wrecks reported in the city that morning. The call came in shortly before 10 a.m., when traffic around Middleton Road and Lake Lowell Avenue would typically be moving through a busy weekday pattern. Responders arrived after multiple callers reported the crash and the injuries.
Once on scene, emergency services confirmed that three people needed medical transport. The pregnant woman was listed with life-threatening injuries, while the other two were described as having minor injuries. No further detail was released about how the crash happened or which vehicles were involved. Nampa Police did not say whether speed, distraction, or another factor may have played a role.
Hospital Transport
All three injured people were taken to hospitals for treatment, police said. The most serious case involved the pregnant woman, who was transported after first responders assessed her condition at the scene. The two others were also hospitalized, though their injuries were described as minor.
Officials have not said whether the injured people were drivers, passengers, or occupants of specific vehicles. No information was released about whether anyone else was hurt but declined treatment. The medical updates provided Monday were limited to the severity of the injuries and the fact that all three patients were moved from the crash site to a hospital.
Traffic Team Investigates
Nampa Police said the Specialized Traffic Enforcement Team is coordinating the ongoing investigation. That unit typically handles serious wrecks and other traffic incidents that require a closer look at what led up to the collision. In this case, investigators are still gathering details from the intersection scene.
Police have not said when they expect to release more information. They also have not identified any citations, charges, or contributing factors. For now, the public record is limited to the time of the crash, the intersection involved, the number of vehicles, and the injuries reported by police.
What Residents Know
The crash adds another serious injury case to a major Nampa intersection that local drivers know well. Middleton Road and Lake Lowell Avenue is a key crossing for daily traffic, and Monday morning’s wreck drew a quick emergency response because of the number of people involved.
Police did not release any long-term traffic impacts or say whether the roadway had reopened shortly after the crash. What is clear is that the collision left one pregnant woman in critical condition and two others with minor injuries. The investigation remains active as officers continue to piece together how the four-vehicle crash unfolded.
