Boise woman killed, one man injured after rollover crash in Cassia County
A Boise woman is dead after a single-car crash in Cassia County.
Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Idaho State Police were called to the scene of a crash near the Cotterell Rest Area along Interstate 84 near milepost 227, east of Burley. Troopers found a car had rolled off the roadway, according to a news release from ISP.
Troopers say a Boise woman was driving a Nissan sedan in the westbound lanes of the interstate when the car drove off the left shoulder of the road and the driver over-corrected. The sedan rolled and ended up near the right shoulder of the interstate.
The front-seat passenger of the car, whom ISP identified as 56-year-old Boise resident Debra Ploss, was ejected and died at the scene.
A rear-seat passenger, a Boise man, was taken to a Burley hospital via ambulance. The driver was also taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, according to ISP spokesperson Lynn Hightower.
Ploss and the driver were not wearing seat belts, but the backseat passenger was.
