Head-on collision sends two drivers to Gritman

A head-on collision shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday on State Highway 8 roughly 2 miles east of Moscow sent two of the city's residents to Gritman Medical Center, according to an Idaho State Police news release.

Bryce Jensen, 20, of Moscow, was traveling eastbound in a 1998 Ford Ranger when he crossed the center line, entered the westbound lane and struck a 2015 Toyota Sienna driven by Linda Gilkey, 71, of Moscow. The westbound lane was blocked for about two hours. Both drivers were wearing seat belts.

ISP District 2 Capt. Lonnie Richardson was not aware of the extent of the drivers' injuries and what caused Jensen to cross the center line, but he said the department is investigating.
