On 8/15/2020, at 11:24 AM, the Idaho State Police responded to a vehicle versus pedestrian crash on Interstate 90 milepost 45, near Pinehurst, Idaho. Connie Schrock, 60 years of Kellogg, ID, was eastbound when she noticed items in the roadway that had come from another vehicle. Schrock and her husband entered I90 on foot to retrieve the items. A silver 2017 Ram 3500 pickup, driven by Glenn Mikkelson, 60 years of Pocatello, ID, saw Schrock in the roadway, applied his brakes, and swerved to the right to try to avoid contact. Schrock stood up at that time and turned into the side of Mikkelson's vehicle. Mikkelson's estimated speed was 50 MPH at the time of the impact. Schrock received non-life-threatening injuries. Schrock was initially transported by ground ambulance to Shoshone Medical Center, then by air ambulance to Kootenai Health. Schrock was the only person injured in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
