A 21-year-old Clarkston man died after driving the wrong way and hitting a car head-on Friday on U.S. Highway 95 south of Moscow, according to Idaho State Police.

Troopers said the Clarkston man was driving a Honda Accord north on the highway and a 35-year-old Harvard, Idaho, man was driving a Subaru Forester south around 2:45 a.m. near Thorn Creek Road.

Evidence at the scene indicated alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, state police said.

The southbound lanes were blocked for about two hours. ISP is investigating.
