ISP investigating Upper Pack crash

SANDPOINT — Idaho State Police is investigating a Dec. 11 injury crash that occurred early in the morning on Upper Pack River Road.

ISP officials said the driver of a silver 2012 Kia Sorento was westbound at 2:54 a.m. when they lost control of the vehicle, crossed the eastbound lanes and left the road, striking a tree. 

The driver, an 18-year-old male of Sandpoint, was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. He was transported to a local hospital by ground ambulance.
