A 5-year-old girl died in a car wreck Saturday night in Lapwai, Idaho.

Maya J. Martinez was killed when a 2006 Jeep Commander driven by Bianca G. Sekayouma, 38, failed to negotiate a curve on U.S. 95. The vehicle struck a utility pole and rolled multiple times.

Sekayouma, Maya Martinez and 7-year-old Mia N. Martinez, all Lapwai residents, were ejected from the vehicle. Neither the woman nor the two children were wearing seat belts, the Idaho State Police said.

Sekayouma and Mia Martinez were injured and taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center.
