According to Idaho State Police, Barbara Crawford, 64, was driving a 2005 Ford Escape west on Selle Road in Bonner County at about 12:02 a.m. when she missed the stop sign and drove onto Highway 95, hitting the side of a northbound Kenworth semi driven by Christopher Hodgkinson, 34, Red Deer, Alberta. The Ford then rolled into the north ditch and the semi jack-knifed, also coming to rest in the ditch. Crawford was pronounced dead at the scene. Hodgkinson was not injured. The collision closed Highway 95 for several hours; as of 7 a.m. today, traffic was still one lane only through the crash site.
