Two injured after car-moose crash

Two people were injured after their car struck a moose early Saturday morning on U.S. 95 south of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho State Police reported.

A Subaru Legacy driven by Derek Gregory, 34, of Hayden was traveling southbound on U.S. 95 at 2:34 a.m. when it struck a moose at milepost 420.2, police reported. The vehicle came to rest on the southbound shoulder, while the moose remained in the southbound lanes.

It was struck again by a Dodge Intrepid driven by Walter Betts, 63, of Rathrdum, police said.

Gregory and his passenger, Amanda McCarthy, 35, of Post Falls, were transported to Kootenai Health with undisclosed injuries, police said, adding that neither of them was wearing a seatbelt.

Betts was uninjured in the accident, which blocked southbound U.S. 95 for roughly 75 minutes, police reported.
