December 15, 2016 |
Two people, including a young girl, were injured
in a collision between a semi and a pickup near
Naples shortly before noon Wednesday that shut
down Highway 95 for more than two hours.
According to Idaho State Police and scanner
traffic, Christopher Wiedemier, 20, Naples,
driving a maroon 1981 GMC pickup with a young
girl in the passenger street, pulled into the
southbound lane of
Highway 95 near mile 496 at about 11:58 a.m.
December 14, into the path of a Bison Transport
tractor trailer driven by Andre Gouekine, 46,
Ontario.
Boundary County Sheriff's deputies and personnel
from Boundary Ambulance, South Boundary Fire and
Paradise Valley Fire responded, along with an
ISP trooper, and a Life Flight helicopter was
called in, but later cancelled when both
Wiedemier and his passenger were transported by
ambulance to Boundary Community Hospital with
non-life threatening injuries.
Gouekine was not injured.
Traffic was directed around the crash site one
direction at a time until the roadway was
cleared and normal traffic flow resumed at about
2:30 p.m.
The accident remains under investigation. |
