Man killed in logging accident

A 44-year-old St. Maries man was killed Friday morning in a logging accident in Latah County, according to the Latah County Sheriff’s Office.

The identity of the victim wasn’t released Friday because authorities in Benewah County had yet to notify his relatives.

Authorities responded to the Feather Creek area north of Bovill, Idaho, just before 10:30 a.m., according to a press release. MedStar was dispatched to the scene, but the call was canceled after the man died at the scene.

The Latah County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Forest Service law enforcement officers are investigating the cause of the accident, the release said.
