Two people from Potlatch died in a single-vehicle crash Saturday night.

According to the Idaho State Police, a 52-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman were driving a 2023 Can-Am Maverick Sport when the vehicle went off the 9000 block of Railroad Grade Road in St. Maries, went down an embankment, and into the river about 9:30 p.m.

Neither occupant was wearing a seat belt. Both were pronounced deceased at the scene, a press release said.

The road was blocked for about 4.5 hours.

An investigation continues.
