Fatality on U.S. 95

An Otis Orchards man was killed in a one-car wreck on U.S. 95 south of Coeur d'Alene early Saturday morning.

Idaho State Police reported Frank M. Reeves, 68, was driving a blue 2005 Chevrolet Silverado truck north on 95 when he left the roadway for an unknown reason just before 1:30 a.m. He tried to turn his vehicle around when he lost control, sliding backward down the embankment and coming to rest against a tree.

Reeves exited the vehicle and was found down a steep embankment northeast of his truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a safety belt at the time of the crash.

Next of kin has been notified.
