A 32-year-old Boise woman was killed in a crash in Southeastern Idaho Monday night, after she lost control of her vehicle on U.S. Highway 93 northwest of Pocatello and struck a snowplow traveling in an oncoming lane. A passenger in her vehicle was transported to a Boise hospital with critical injuries.

Amy L. Habets was pronounced dead at the scene near milepost 223 on Highway 93, about 25 miles south of Arco. Arco is northeast of Twin Falls and west of Idaho Falls.

Kelly F. Woodall, 37, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was taken to St. Lukes Wood River Hospital and later transferred to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center for treatment.

Howard F. Morris was driving the snowplow that Habets crashed into. The 63-year-old Arco man suffered minor injuries. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Idaho State Police say Habets was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt south on Highway 93 at about 7:30 p.m., when she lost control over the vehicle and crossed the centerline, striking a northbound Idaho Transportation Department snowplow.

Police said everyone involved in the accident was wearing a seatbelt, and the airbags deployed in Habets' vehicle. The crash is still under investigation by the Idaho State Police and Butte County Sheriff's Office.
