Tekoa youth killed in accident
Two others injured in rollover in southern Kootenai County
The Spokesman-Review
A Tekoa teen was killed and a Worley youth is in critical condition after they were thrown from a vehicle that went off the road and rolled several times early Tuesday in southern Kootenai County.
Brandon W. Hay, 17, died at Kootenai Medical Center, the Idaho State Police reported. The driver, Travis W. Sines, 18, of Worley, is in critical condition. Another passenger, Jonathan R. Hill, 18, of Tekoa, is in fair condition. Both are at the hospital.
Sines was driving west in a 1999 Toyota 4-Runner about 1:22 a.m. on Lovell Valley Road when the vehicle drifted off the right shoulder on a left hand curve, the ISP said. He lost control and the vehicle rolled several times, ejecting Sines and Hay.
The vehicle landed upside down in the ditch and caught fire. Witnesses helped Hill get out of the vehicle. Sines and Hay were taken via Med Star to Kootenai Medical Center where Hay later died.
Hill was transported there by ambulance.
The state patrol does not know whether they were wearing seatbelts.

It was very sad to here that one of the Hay family members has passed from this car accident. I was not blessed to know Brandon Hay but I was blessed to know family members during my younger years when my dad was the town barber in Tekoa during the early 70's.
My prayer go out to all the families involved. Especially the Hay family, If I know the town of Tekoa they will be banding together to support this family in their time of need.
Prayer to you all sorry for your loss
