Two hurt in crash near Fighting Creek

Two Spirit Lake residents were injured in a two-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon on U.S. 95 near the Fighting Creek Store, the Idaho State Police said.

A pickup truck and travel trailer headed southbound on U.S. 95 was about to turn into the store, north of Worley, when a car failed to notice the truck and trailer slowing for the turn and rear-ended them.

Stanley S. Hoisington, 77, of Spirit Lake, who was driving a 2004 Kia Spectra, was injured and taken to Kootenai Medical Center. His passenger, Laurel L. Hoisington, 65, of Spirit Lake, also was injured and taken to the Coeur d’Alene hospital.

The 2007 Chevy Silverado pickup truck and 2008 travel trailer was driven by 46-year-old Mark J. Hetherington of Cypress County, Alberta. He was not injured.
