"One of the juveniles was pronounced deceased on scene and the other succumbed to her injuries after being flown to Renown by Care Flight. The juveniles and the involved adult were from Alpaugh, Calif., visiting here for the holiday weekend. Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the accident however the investigation is still ongoing.
Our hearts go out this family for the tragic loss of life."
