According to Idaho State Police and family reports, Christopher Langan, 34, Bonners Ferry, was driving north on Highway 95 in a black 2010 Dodge Caravan with his wife, Anneli, 31, and four minor children, when he attempted to pass a slow moving vehicle. While in the southbound lane of travel, he hit a maroon 1997 Nissan Altima driven by James Moore, 56, Amy Moore, 50, both of Sandpoint, and one minor child, near mile 466.5.
