61YO Hayden Man Killed In Crash

A 61-year-old Hayden man was found dead in his Jeep Commander along Hayden Lake Road Tuesday evening, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department. The fiancee of Thomas McLennon reported him missing at 7 p.m. Tuesday. He may have been missing as long ago as Monday night. Deputies retraced his usual route from his work to his house and found his Jeep Commander about ½ mile from E. Hayden Lake Rd on his long, winding driveway. McLennon was found inside the Jeep, deceased. The Jeep had apparently left the driveway and crashed into a hillside and some trees prior to catching fire. The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Traffic Investigation Team is currently investigating the incident.
