There are reports that Idaho State Police is
completing its investigation of a two-vehicle
collision, involving the local Drivers'
Education car, that injured five people last month.
On August 18, a Drivers' Education car and a
pickup truck were involved in a head-on
collision a few miles north of Bonners Ferry.
The Drivers' Education car carried two students,
one of whom was driving the car as part of his
drivers' training. That car also carried Travis
Hinthorn, the Drivers' Education instructor. The
pickup was driven by Garrett Graupner of Bonners
Ferry, whose son was a passenger in his vehicle.
Those involved in the accident required medical
care, some requiring helicopter transport to
medical facilities.
Reports are that the ISP investigation has
determined Mr. Graupner will be cited for
inattentive driving, and cited also for failure
to wear a seat belt. Idaho State Police further
determined that the 14 year old student driver
of the Drivers' Education car was not at fault
in the accident.
Additional details on the Idaho State Police
findings on the collision will be reported as
they are made available by police.
