August 23, 2017

A Priest River woman died Monday of injuries she sustained in a single vehicle crash one week earlier on Highway 95 near Silverwood Theme Park. According to the Idaho State Police, Shelley L. Swoboda, 50, was driving a blue 2004 Ford F-150 pickup north on Highway 95 at about 8:20 a.m. Monday, August 14, when she left the road and went into the median. She immediately re-entered the northbound lane, but overcorrected, rolling the truck. She was not wearing a seatbelt. She was airlifted to Kootenai Health in Coeur d'Alene, and later transferred to Sacred Heart Medical Center, Spokane, where she died.
