Crash closes U.S. 95 for 3 hours

WORLEY — Two people were transported to Kootenai Medical Center on Thursday night after a crash near the Coeur d'Alene Casino that reduced U.S. 95 to one lane of travel northbound for about three hours.

According to Idaho State Police, Bernadine C. Twoteeth, 33, Plummer was northbound driving a 2007 Chrysler Sebring at about 7 p.m. when Lowell Compton, 75, Weippe, made a U-turn in a 1995 Saturn SL in front of Twoteeth.

The Chrysler struck the Saturn. 

Twoteeth and passenger  Deannette T. Dominique-White, 12, were not wearing seatbelts and were taken by ambulance to KMC, where they were treated and released.

Compton, who was not injured and was wearing a seatbelt, was cited for inattentive driving. A 6-year-old passenger in the Saturn was not injured.
