Phillip J. Geisinger loved adventures. The 8-year-old’s zest for life came to a sudden and tragic halt on Monday when he died as a result of a vehicle versus bicycle collision while riding his bike in his Pine Villa neighborhood in Post Falls. “He was adventurous,” Phillip’s father, Darrin, said while fighting back tears and viewing photos of his kids. “Even though he was home-schooled, he was like a class clown.” The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday identified the driver of the 2000 Nissan Maxima that collided with Phillip as Chadd W. Webster, 22, Post Falls. The KCSO hasn’t determined who was at fault as an investigation is pending/ Brian Walker, Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
