One woman dead, another injured in Plummer rollover crash

A 44-year-old woman died and a 31-year-old woman was injured in a rollover crash last week southwest of Plummer, Idaho.

The women were driving a gray 2018 Toyota Highlander shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday west on Lovell Valley Road when they drove off the road, crashed into a ditch, rolled and came to rest in a treed area, according to Idaho State Police. The crash happened west of U.S. Highway 95.

The 44-year-old woman, of Omak, Washington, died at the scene, troopers said. The other occupant, of Plummer, contacted a local homeowner who then called emergency services. She was airlifted to a local hospital for treatment.

Police said alcohol is suspected to be a factor and both women were not wearing seat belts. The release did not indicate who was driving.

Lovell Valley Road was blocked for about three hours.
