April 21, 2012 |
 A
two vehicle head-on collision occurred at
about 10:25 p.m. on U.S. 95 at Kootenai Trail Road.
Boundary County Sheriffs Deputies, Paradise
Valley Fire and Boundary Volunteer Ambulance
were the initial responsiders to the collision,
and Idaho State Police Officer arrived on-scene
from Bonner County a short time later to conduct
the investigation.
According to ISP Corporal Don Moore, Clinton E.
Corey, 37, Sandpoint, driving a 1999 Subaru
Legacy Outback, was traveling on Kootenai Trail
Road and failed to stop at the stop at the sign
at the intersection before entering onto U.S.
95. Rebecca David, 46, Bonners Ferry, driving
2006 Ford Taurus sedan, was traveling north and
was struck by Corey.
Both Corey, David and David's passenger, Raymond
Schlechte, 47, Bonners Ferry, were wearing seat
belts, and all three were transported to
Boundary Community Hospital for treatment.
Traffic on U.S. 95 southbound was at a
standstill and north-bound traffic was being
diverted onto Kootenai Trail Road until shortly
before midnight, when wreckers arrived to clear
the roadway.
 While
at Boundary Community Hospital, one of the
victims reported that a dog of unspecified breed
was in the vehicle at the time of the collision;
no one on scene reported seeing the dog,
described as being black and weighing about 100
pounds.
It is possible that the dog was injured and fled
shortly after the collision; if anyone sees a
dog matching that description in the area they
are asked to call the Boundary County Sheriffs
Office at (208) 267-3151, extension 0. |
