Three teens were injured in a roll over crash on Highway 95 near Post Falls Saturday morning.

The 16-year-old male driver was driving a 1978 Chevy pickup north on the highway just after 7:20 a.m. when he lost control and skidded off the road before rolling, according to the Idaho State Police. He and two passengers, an 18-year-old male and a 16-year-old female, were all ejected.

All three teens were taken to Kootenai Medical Center. The crash is under investigation.
