A Kuna man has died after being struck by two vehicles Saturday on Interstate 84.

Nicholas Palmieri, 32, was running on the freeway when he was struck—first by a 2008 Buick Enclave and then by a 2019 Freightliner commercial vehicle, according to an Idaho State Police press release. Palmieri, who was identified Monday by the Ada County Coroner’s Office, died at the scene.

The Buick was being driven by a 77-year-old man from Meridian; the Freightliner was driven by a 66-year-old man from Caldwell.

The incident caused the roadway to be blocked for about 2.5 hours, according to ISP.
