Here’s a roundup of accident reports issued by Washington State Patrol and Idaho State Police late Friday night and Saturday morning:

— ISP is on the scene of a multiple vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 95 near Cocolalla Creek in Bonner County. The entire highway was blocked due to the accident, and ISP asks drivers avoid that area. KHQ-TV reports that a semi-truck driver died in the accident.

— A driver on U.S. 95 at Putnam Road lost control of her vehicle, hit a concrete barrier and flipped, ISP reported. The woman was taken to Kootenai Medical Center with unknown injuries.

— Washington State Route 25 was closed much of the morning between Davenport and the Spokane River because of adverse driving conditions. The road was re-opened around 11 a.m. this morning.

    Driving too fast, brain not thinking icy roadways……Semis go as fast as the wheels are still turning…no caution involved…generally idiot people.

    Just go slow, give everyone else on the road a lot of room and if you’re in a hurry, you should have left earlier or you might not get there at all so SLOW DOWN!
