On June 2, 2018, at 9:57 a.m., the Idaho State Police investigated two injury crashes westbound Interstate 84 at milepost 36, the Franklin exit in Nampa.

The first crash involved a black Jeep Wrangler that was driving westbound and tried to merge into the left lane. A juvenile driving a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt tried to avoid the Jeep Wrangler.

The juvenile and a juvenile passenger in the vehicle of the first crash were not wearing seatbelts. Twiss and her passenger Vannesa Martell-Mudrovich, 30, of Corona, CA, were wearing seatbelts. It is unknown if Jara Campos was wearing a seatbelt.
