Five people were taken to a local hospital after a minivan crashed near Boise, Idaho State Police said.

At roughly 4:11 p.m. Friday, a 68-year-old Boise man was driving south on Idaho 21 when he drove his Chrysler Town & Country off the road and the vehicle rolled over, according to a news release from state police. The collision occurred at milepost 14 in Ada County.

Idaho 21 is a primarily two-lane highway that passes through Idaho City and continues until Stanley.

There were four other passengers in the vehicle: a 39-year-old Boise man, a 71-year-old Boise woman and two minors, who were in car seats, state police said. The three adults were wearing seat belts.

Everyone was taken to an unidentified hospital by ground ambulance. The Idaho Statesman has reached out to state police for more information.

The incident was under investigation by the state police.
