Jeremy was ejected from the vehicle and declared dead at the scene. Investigators say speed played a factor. You can read more on the story HERE.

The tragedy continued at 7:51am when a Boise man was run over in the parking lot of a Chevron in Nampa at 5950 Franklin Rd.

37 year old Jose Campos-Sanchez was hit by a 27 year old woman from Nampa driving a Dodge Durango. Police say drugs and alcohol did not play a factor in the accident and that the bright sun may have blurred the woman's vision. For more information click HERE.
