Interstate Crashes in Northern Idaho
Highway collisions along I-90 in Coeur d’Alene frequently occur at interchanges like Exit 13, where merging and turning traffic interact at high speeds. Even a brief lapse in judgment can result in serious crashes that send individuals to the hospital with injuries ranging from whiplash and fractures to head trauma or internal injuries.
These injury crashes often stem from improper lane changes, failure to yield during merging, or following too closely. Victims may find themselves dealing with sudden medical bills, time off work, and long-term recovery—making early medical evaluation and thorough documentation essential.
Idaho law allows injured parties to pursue compensation for losses, but timing is critical. Police reports, medical records, and witness statements form the foundation of any injury claim. Crashes on major highways also tend to trigger more complex investigations involving both state and local agencies.
As this crash demonstrates, even well-traveled roads in familiar areas carry risks—especially at high-volume interchanges. Continued public education, enhanced signage, and improved driver awareness are vital to reducing crash frequency in North Idaho.
