2 dead in Kuna Mora Road rollover

Authorities say a driver lost control while going around a curve. The car rolled, hit a power pole and landed upside down in a ditch.

BOISE, Idaho — Two people are dead and another is injured after a rollover crash east of Boise Thursday morning. 

The wreck was reported at 8:18 a.m. Thursday at Kuna Mora Road and the railroad tracks, just south of Interstate 84. 

According to the Ada County Sheriff's Office, a woman was driving west on Kuna Mora Road when she lost control going around a curve.

Deputies say the woman swerved back onto the road, then overcorrected, veering off the road once more. The car rolled, hitting a power pole and landing upside down in a ditch. 

Both the woman's passengers were killed in the crash. The driver survived, and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with injuries investigators described as "very serious." 

The names of the people who were killed have not been released, but deputies say all three were adults, and that they are all members of the same family. 

No other vehicles were involved in the crash. Investigators have not yet determined whether the occupants of the car were wearing seatbelts when the crash happened.

Kuna Mora Road was completely blocked for several hours, but has since been reopened. 

Idaho Power is working to replace the power pole that was hit.
