Idaho State Police say 24-year-old Katie Hamilton was traveling northbound some three miles south of Moscow just after 5:30 am when she fell asleep and drove left of center. Her 2000 Honda CRV struck the trailer of a Swift semi-truck driven by 43-year-old Mame Sylla of Atlanta, Georgia. Hamilton’s vehicle spun and went off the southbound shoulder and continued 70 feet into a farm field.
Hamilton was extricated from the vehicle and transported by Lifeflight to St Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston. Sylla was transported to Gritman Medical Center in Moscow and released with no injuries.
Seatbelts were worn by both drivers.
One lane of US 95 was blocked for approximately 3.5 hours for crash investigation. (Idaho State Police)
