STAR, Ada County, Idaho, Nov. 6, 2026 — Middleton-Star firefighters responded to two separate vehicle crashes on Wednesday, November 4, both of which required extrication.
The first crash happened at an intersection near Station 55 on Floating Feather Rd. The station, staffed for the first time last week, is reported to have cut the response time to this crash by nearly 5 minutes compared to prior coverage. Firefighters used extrication equipment to free at least one person from a vehicle at the scene.
Details on a second crash requiring extrication, reported the same day, have not been released. The fire district did not specify the location, vehicles involved, or the number of people hurt in that incident.
No information on injuries, hospital transports, or possible causes for either crash has been made public. Middleton-Star Fire is reportedly still gathering information, and further details may be released as the response is reviewed.
It was not immediately clear whether Idaho State Police or another law enforcement agency is investigating either crash.
We hope those who were hurt recover fully and quickly.
