According to the Idaho State Police, Vaughn, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was driving a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer east on Highway 2 when she missed a curve, drove off the right side of the road and rolled her vehicle.

The crash remains under investigation.

The severity of the crash isn't obvious from the ISP narrative.

The vehicle left no marks on the highway, went airborne after leaving the pavement, and clipped a tree about five feet off the ground, went down the embankment and continued traveling parallel to the road for several hundred feet, tearing through brush before rolling and coming to rest on its top in a clump of trees just before the Twin Canyon Road intersection.

According to her Facebook page Danette had recently moved to Moyie Springs from her native Alaska.
