personal watercraft accident from last Friday on Coeur d’Alene Lake. Alicia Edgell, 14 of Coeur d’Alene was killed when she was involved in a personal watercraft accident on Coeur d’Alene Lake near the Third Street Docks. Alicia was thrown from the personal watercraft that she was operating and struck another personal water craft driven by Taylor Huber, 15 of Pinehurst, Idaho. The impact on the other vessel caused critical head and internal injuries. She died from her injuries Saturday afternoon. The investigation indicates that Alicia was operating her personal watercraft, swerved suddenly and was thrown from her vessel. The two vessels did not collide. No citations have been issued in this matter./Capt. Ben Wolfinger, Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department.
DFO: The Edgell family lives on my block in the Borah Triangle area. During the huge December snowstorms, Alicia’s father used a front-end loader to dig our street out. Quality family. This tragedy has shock the neighborhood to the core.
