Friends: Dead Driver Was Diabetic

A driver who crashed into a log truck and died while being chased by sheriff’s deputies was a Post Falls man with severe diabetes, friends say. Authorities identified Daniel James Marinovich, 50, late Tuesday after an autopsy, which concluded he died from injuries sustained in the crash. Investigators are trying to determine if a medical condition may have been a factor, said sheriff’s Lt. Steve Barbieri. A former coworker of Marinovich’s believes he may have suffered a diabetic episode while driving from his new job in Deer park/Meghann Cuniff, SR. More here.
