A single-car accident caused a Chevy pickup truck to catch on fire and injure two people. The car accident happened on the north side of Galena Summit on Highway 75.

Elle said the victims, who were traveling south back to Ketchum, were making a "sweeping left-hand turn" when they slid across the road into a rock wall about a mile north of the summit.

Passersby helped the victims out of the burning vehicle and a Good Samaritan drove back to Smiley Creek Store to summon an ambulance.

The vehicle was completely destroyed by the fire. It also caused significant damage to the roadway and tied up traffic for over 45 minutes.
