crews responded to a report of a fatal
single-vehicle rollover on the North Hill on
Highway 95 just north of the Kootenai River
Bridge this afternoon, a crash that closed the
highway for nearly three hours.
The crash was reported at about 2:45 p.m., and
Highway 95 was closed near mile 508.5 shortly
after deputies arrived on scene. The highway was
reported reopened at about 5:47 p.m., though
motorists reported not moving until after 6 p.m.
According to the Idaho State Police, John A.
Crump, 49, Bonners Ferry, was driving a black
1984 Ford 700 tow south when he lost control and
rolled the vehicle.
Crump was pronounced dead at the scene; he was
not wearing a safety belt. His passenger, Ronald
Erickson, 48, Bonners Ferry, was transported to
Boundary Community Hospital.
Next of kin has been notified. |
