|
January 7, 2015 |
A two vehicle collision involving a semi and a
pick up shut down Highway 95 at milepost 515 for
several hours this morning and sent one man
first to Boundary Community Hospital and then to
Sacred Heart in Spokane.
According to the Idaho State Police, Gurpreet
Singh, 21, Calgary, was driving a 2011
Freightliner tractor-trailer south at about
12:37 a.m. when he lost control near mile 515
and slid into the northbound lane, hitting a
2008 Ford F350 driven by Stuart Watson, 59, also
of Calgary, head on. When the vehicles came to a
stop, the pickup was underneath the tractor,
with Watson, conscious and talking, pinned
inside.
Highway 95 was completely blocked by the semi,
and shut down in both directions. The highway
reopened at around 5:25 a.m.
Investigation is ongoing. |
