The driver succumbed to injuries received at the scene of the crash.  There were two juvenile passengers in the vehicle at the time, and both were transported to the hospital by ground ambulance.  One was taken to St. Luke's in Nampa and the other to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise.  Next of kin has been notified. 

The road was blocked for approximately two and a half hours while the crash was being investigated.
