Two people died and three were injured Sunday night in a six-vehicle crash east of Jerome when a Twin Falls man drove the wrong way on Interstate 84.

It was unclear Monday what led Brian Trappen, 36, to drive the wrong way. An Idaho State Police official said he has no further information and the incident is still under investigation.

ISP responded to the crash at 7:05 p.m. at milepost 168, it said in a statement. Maricruz Lenhart, 51, of Middleton, and a child who was driving the 2005 Dodge Caravan died at the scene. Their family has been notified.
