BURNS, Ore., - Two Idaho men were killed Wednesday after a rollover crash in Eastern Oregon.

Oregon State Police says the crash occurred on Highway 95 south of Jordan Valley. They say at about 10:20 p.m., a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Ron Tibbett, 46 was northbound on Highway 95 near milepost 63 when, for an unknown reason, it drifted off the southbound shoulder.
