Fiery Crash + Zola's Candy + Jordan Valley

Tuesday was a tough morning for the morning commute.

If you were trying to make your way into Boise Tuesday morning, sitting, not moving in your car was the norm. A horrific crash shut down both eastbound and westbound lanes for hours. In today's Daily, I offer some photos of the hold up, a great aerial video of Jordan Valley and a new candy shop you need to visit. Enjoy your Daily and after yesterday's incident, drive safe!
