Clark Fork resident killed in crash

A 69-year-old Clark Fork resident has died due to a Wednesday morning crash just west of Hope.

Idaho State Police said the woman was westbound at about 9:23 a.m. on Highway 200 when she lost control of her 2000 Nissan Pathfinder on the snow-covered road and went off the roadway. The vehicle struck a guardrail after entering the eastbound ditch and going down a steep embankment where it overturned.

ISP troopers said the driver of the Nissan was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. She was transported to Bonner General Hospital by ground ambulance where she was pronounced dead. 

The crash remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police. Assisting were the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office, Bonner County EMS, and Sam Owen Fire Department crews.
