Two motor vehicle collisions have been reported
in Boundary County this morning, at least one of
which appears to have serious injuries.
According to early reports, the first collision
was a single vehicle accident occurring on US
Highway 95 near milepost 528, which is a little
north of the Mt. Hall / Highway 1 junction on US
95. Initially Life Flight was dispatched to that
accident scene.
A short time later, a second separate accident
occurred near the Hooten's Hollow area, Milepost
513 on Highway 95, which is 3 or 4 miles north
of the Three Mile area.
This second accident appears to be serious in
nature, a two vehicle accident with potentially
multiple injuries. Reports are that US Highway
95 in this area is completely shut down and
traffic is being diverted to the Meadow Creek /
Moyie River Road. Our reports are that at least
two and possibly three medical air evacuation
helicopters have been dispatched to this
accident scene. Additional Idaho State Police
units have been summoned to the area. Multiple
local ambulances also dispatched to the area.
Reports are that truck traffic is being stopped
at both the Porthill and Eastport ports of
entry. It is anticipated the the closure of US
Highway 95 will be prolonged in this area.
