There were no injuries.

According to Idaho State Police, Rosa Dolph, 47, Spirit Lake, was driving southbound in a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM near milepost 13 when he tried to pass a line of vehicles about 6:15.

William Erickson, 58, also of Spirit Lake, was driving a 1991 Mazda 626 and also tried to pass the line of vehicles when he collided with Dolph's car, police said.

Both vehicles then hit a southbound 1999 Subaru Outback driven by William Roberson, 51, Oldtown.

Police said all three vehicles crossed northbound lanes and went over a small embankment. Dolph's vehicle overturned on its roof, Roberson's stayed on its wheels while Erickson's vehicle came to rest on its side.

McEuen open house is Thursday

COEUR d'ALENE - An Open House for the proposed McEuen Park Project will be 6 p.m. Thursday at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library. Multiple easels with prints of the proposed park, showing the various associated costs of the amenities/elements, will be set up for viewing. Also displayed will be concepts for the boat launch and the baseball field.

The purpose of the Open House is to show the changes that have been made as a result of the many comments received through surveys, public forums and personal correspondence, and give the public opportunities for discussions with both the Design Team and Steering Committee members.

In May 2010, the McEuen Steering Committee began meeting to discuss possible visions for the McEuen Field area. In July 2010, they selected Team McEuen to express and articulate that vision. Team McEuen is comprised of an architectural firm, landscape architect and engineering firm.
