CSI Students Killed in Crash
An early morning crash in Twin Falls County claimed the lives of two College of Southern Idaho students and injured another. 18 year old Ryan Reinhardt, 19 year old Devon Austin and 19 year old Jessica Duran, all of Coeur d’Alene Idaho, left a party in the early morning hours of September 12, after they were involved in a verbal altercation with others at the party. At one point they were chased by several people from the party in another vehicle. Following the chase, Reinhardt failed to make a curve in the road, and his vehicle, a 1998 Toyota Camry rolled several times. Law enforcement received the call at 1:02 am, both Reinhart and Austin were pronounced dead at the scene. Duran was treated and released from St. Luke’s Magic Valley Regional Medical Center.
Excessive speed and alcohol are believed to be factors.
