Deary man goes uninjured in collision at Hayden

A two-vehicle crash in Hayden early Tuesday morning left a 64-year-old man hospitalized after his Ram pickup was struck by a log truck. The 78-year-old driver of the log truck failed to yield at a red light around 5 a. m. at the intersection of U. S.

Highway 95 and Hayden Avenue. Witnesses reported that the log truck collided with the pickup, pushing it onto the northbound shoulder of the highway. The Hayden man was transported to a local hospital, while the log truck driver escaped uninjured. Authorities worked at the scene for approximately 2½ hours, partially blocking U. S.

Highway 95 during their investigation. The Idaho State Police are continuing their inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Traffic incidents like this raise concerns about road safety and adherence to traffic signals. Local authorities emphasize the importance of yielding at intersections to prevent accidents.
