Idaho State Police are investigating a three-vehicle collision that occurred Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at approximately 5:45 PM, on Appleway Ave just west of Ramsey Rd, in Kootenai County. A 2010 Kenworth tanker semi-trailer loaded with gasoline, driven by a 34-year-old male from Spokane, WA, was making a left hand turn into a 76 gas station. A 2007 Chevrolet HHR, driven by a 71-year-old male from Coeur d?Alene ID, stopped in traffic behind the semi-trailer. A 1986 Chevrolet Corvette, driven by a 76-year-old male from Hayden, ID, reportedly ran a red light while westbound on Appleway Ave through the intersection at Ramsey Rd, sideswiped the HHR and impacted the rear end of the semi-trailer. The driver of the semi-trailer and HHR were both wearing their seatbelts. In the Corvette, in addition to the driver, was a front passenger, a 73-year-old female from Hayden, ID. Both occupants were wearing their seatbelts. The female passenger succumbed to her injuries at the scene of the crash. The male driver was transported via ground ambulance to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The next of kin have been notified.
