A 77-year-old woman died following a vehicle crash around 1 a.m. on U.S. 95 just south of downtown Coeur d’Alene. Another woman, 56, was transported to the hospital from the scene.
Idaho State Police are investigating the two-vehicle collision that occurred near milepost 427 where the highway intersects with Espinoza Drive.
The names and hometowns of those involved have not been released by ISP.
The 77-year-old was driving a 2019 Honda CR-V and traveling in the northbound lane when her vehicle drove left of center and collided head-on with a 2019 GMC Yukon driven in the southbound lane by the 56-year-old.
Traffic on U.S. 95 was blocked in both directions for about 90 minutes as emergency responders assisted those involved.
The 77-year-old’s next of kin were notified of the crash and the seriousness of the woman’s injuries, which she succumbed to at the hospital.
The crash remains under investigation.
