Woman dies in Monday crash

A 40-year-old Coeur d'Alene woman died in a two-vehicle accident near Spirit Lake on Highway 41 Monday morning.

Neta J. Clift was northbound on the highway about 7:30 a.m. when she lost control of her vehicle on the snow-covered roadway, the Idaho State Police said.

Clift, driving a 1994 Oldsmobile four-door car, spun into the southbound lane where she collided with a pickup truck driven by 49-year-old Nancy J. Daniel, of Blanchard, police said.

Clift died at the scene. Police said it was unknown at this time if Clift was wearing a seat belt.

Daniel and passenger Hailee Daniel, 10, also of Blanchard, were both injured in their 2004 Dodge R1500, police said.

The Daniels were transported to Kootenai Medical Center where they were treated and released. They were both wearing seat belts.

Both vehicles were badly damaged and towed from the scene.
