Three people were injured following a three-vehicle collision in Lewiston yesterday (Mon).
At about 5:20 p.m. Lewiston Police responded to a collision in the westbound lanes of Bryden Canyon Road at the intersection with the on-ramp from southbound Snake River Avenue and the exit ramp for eastbound Southway Bridge to Snake River Avenue.
According to a news release, 30-year-old Joshua Estes of Lewiston, was taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. 40-year-old Christina Erb of Asotin, was taken to St. Joe’s with non-life-threatening injuries. And 20-year-old Adiranna Comstock of Juliaetta, was taken by private vehicle to Tri-State Memorial Hospital in Clarkston with minor injuries.
Investigators say a 2001 Subaru sedan, driven by Estes, was traveling east across the Southway Bridge, when, at the off-ramp to Snake River Avenue, the car went over the raised traffic lane divider.
The car continued into the westbound lanes of Bryden Canyon Road, where it then collided with a 2019 Toyota 4Runner, driven by Erb. The near head-on collision forced the Toyota into the guard rail and the 2009 Dodge pickup, driven by Comstock, also traveling west, was unable to avoid the collision with the rear end of the Subaru.
The incident remains under investigation and authorities are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact LPD at 208 746-0171.
