Fatal crash traumatizes witness

The Idaho State Police have identified who the deputy is who hit and killed a woman crossing the road.

They say Kootenai County Sheriff’s deputy Andrew Nye was driving in the right lane southbound on Highway 95 when the crash happened, killing 38-year-old Amber Viuhkola at Miles Road.

Surveillance video shows cars driving southbound and the woman crossing the road.

“We were going down and coming down this area. I saw the cop swerve really hard and I was really confused because I did see something run across the street, but I wasn’t quite sure of what it was,” says Taylor Hull/ Katie Chen , KHQ. More here.
