A Gooding County crash left one person dead and another hospitalized Sunday morning.
A 71-year-old Nampa woman was driving a Chevrolet Silverado truck east on Interstate 84 at 7:59 a.m. when she drove off the roadway near Bliss, Idaho State Police said in a news release. As the woman drove back onto the roadway, she hit a semi truck’s trailer, according to police.
Police said the Chevrolet’s passenger, a 65-year-old woman from Boise, died from her injuries at the scene.

The interstate’s eastbound lanes were blocked for about six hours after the accident as emergency responders worked at the scene.
