On June 5th, at 11:22 AM, near the north entrance to the Clearwater River Casino (US95 mile post 307.9), a four vehicle crash occurred. Karen Wing (64 year old female of Clarkston, WA) was facing south on US95 and was about to turn left onto Nez Perce Drive when Dennis Hayes (68 year old male of Lenore, ID) impacted Wing to the rear of the vehicle. Both drivers decided to move their vehicles off the highway. Wing proceeded onto Nez Perce drive.
