On Saturday, June 28th, two vehicles collided on Highway 95, north of Council at milepost 143. Idaho State Police are continuing their investigation of the accident and the resulting fatality.
At the time of the accident, a 32-year-old man, and a 35-year-old female passenger, both from Nampa, were traveling north in a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. As they traveled, their vehicle began to approach a semi headed southbound. Before they passed the semi, another vehicle attempted to pass the semi in a no passing zone. This vehicle, a 2008 Ford Focus driven by a 31-year-old woman from Oregon, collided head on with the Jeep.
The driver of the Ford passed away immediately upon impact. Both the driver and passenger of the Jeep were taken to a local hospital by ground ambulance to receive treatment for their injuries. All three individuals involved in this accident wore seatbelts at the time of collision.
