On April 18, 2019 at approximately 1:40 p.m. the Idaho State Police responded to an injury crash on SH53 at Fowler Road, east of Rathdrum. A black 2008 Lexus SUV driven by Susan Schulhoff, 63, of Rathdrum was waiting to turn left onto Fowler Road when a white 1995 Ford Econoline van driven by Quintin Caldeira, 19, of Spokane Valley, WA, struck the Lexus from behind. As a result of the collision, the Lexus was pushed into the westbound lane of traffic where it was struck again by a white Nissan van pulling a cargo trailer, driven by Lyman Beckley, 71, of Spokane Valley, WA. The Nissan van flipped, coming to rest on its roof on the side of the road. All occupants were wearing their seatbelts, with the exception of the passenger of the Ford Econoline van, Jacob Suarez, 18, of Spokane Valley, WA. All occupants of all vehicles were transported via ambulance to Kootenai Medical Center, including the passenger of the white Nissan van, Jennifer Larue, 53, of Spokane Valley, WA.
