ARCO, Idaho (AP) — A California woman died and a North Dakota man was injured after their motorcycle collided with a deer in south-central Idaho near Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve.

Idaho State Police say 29-year-old Alexandria J. Porterfield of Highland, California, died at the scene of the crash at about 11:30 p.m. Monday.
