Treasure Valley, ID (December 30, 2025) – Emergency crews responded to a dramatic car rollover accident in Treasure Valley on Sunday evening. The vehicle reportedly overturned into a canal, trapping two individuals inside as water began to enter the car.
The incident occurred around 8 p.m., with responders quickly arriving at the scene. The car, positioned upside down in the canal, left the two occupants in need of urgent rescue. Initial reports suggested the water in the canal may have resulted from recent heavy rains, though fire department personnel later clarified that only a few inches of water were present.
At approximately 8:05 p.m., firefighters used extraction methods to free the trapped individuals, both of whom were reported as “green patients,” indicating non-life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders provided care at the scene, and both patients were successfully rescued.
Our thoughts are with those involved, and we hope for their swift recovery as they recover from this incident.
