According to Idaho State Police, troopers responded to the crash just after 1 p.m. on Idaho State Highway 7 at milepost 38 in Clearwater County.
22-year-old Luke Schwartz of Ferdinand was driving northbound in a 1998 Dodge Dakota, when he cut through a blind corner into the oncoming lane of travel when he struck the 2002 KTM motorcyle driven by 67-year-old Thomas Denham of Lewiston.
Schwartz was wearing his seatbelt and reportedly didn’t require medical attention. Denham, who was wearing a helmet and protective riding gear, was injured and transported to Clearwater Valley Hospital before being transferred to Sacred Heart Medical in Spokane. His condition has not been released.
