**Update** Both crashes have been cleared, and US95 is open in both directions.

On February 5th, 2018 at approximately 12:18 pm an injury crash occurred on US95 at milepost 292, just north of Culdesac, Idaho. A blue 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by a 15 year old juvenile of Kooskia, ID, was traveling northbound when he drifted off the right side of the roadway and struck a tree. Both the driver and his passenger, Randall B Miskin, 46, of Kooskia, ID were transported to St. Joseph's Medical Center in Lewiston. Both occupants were wearing their seat belts. While the tow was recovering the pickup from the crash, a semi driver lost control as he approached the scene where an Idaho State Police trooper's patrol vehicle was blocking the northbound lane, striking it and rolling the semi onto its side in the ditch. Nez Perce County Sheriff responded to the scene to investigate this secondary crash.
