A young man was ejected from a vehicle in a
single vehicle crash near Spirit Lake Monday
evening and killed. Another youth and a Coeur
d'Alene man were injured.
According to Idaho State Police, the crash
occurred on Spirit Lake Cutoff and Peregrine
Road north of Spirit Lake at about 7:32 p.m. May
15.
A green 1995 Subaru Legacy with three occupants
was traveling north on Spirit Lake Cutoff when
the driver lost control, entering the southbound
ditch striking several mailboxes.
The vehicle overturned and came to rest on its
top, blocking the roadway for approximately six
hours.
At present, it is unclear who was driving the
vehicle.
The vehicle was occupied by Jose F. Sosa Jr.,
55, Coeur D'Alene and two juvenile males. One
male was ejected from the vehicle and was
pronounced dead at the scene. He was transported
to Sherman and Knapp funeral home in Spirit
Lake.
Sosa was transported by air ambulance to
Kootenai Health, and the surviving juvenile
male, the only occupant wearing a seatbelt, was
transported by ground ambulance to Kootenai
Health.
Next of kin have been notified and the
investigation is ongoing. |
