A 29-year-old woman driving a Chevrolet pickup truck and a 49-year-old man who was a passenger both died as a result of the collision. A second passenger, a 37-year-old woman, was injured. All three were from the Crow Agency.

A 37-year-old man from Crow Agency, who was driving the other vehicle – a Ford F250 pickup – was also injured.

The second accident occurred shortly after 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, when a Chevrolet pickup truck crashed while traveling south on Blue Water Road.
