GOODING, Idaho (AP) -- Authorities say the 32-year-old driver of a utility recreational vehicle has died and two passengers sustained injuries in a crash in the southcentral Idaho town of Gooding.

Idaho State Police say Kurtis J. Borda of Gooding died following the crash at about 2 a.m. Thursday.

Police say Borda was driving eastbound on Roosevelt Street at a high rate of speed and lost control when he turned north onto Oregon Street.
