Coeur d’Alene, ID – Idaho State Police are responding to a crash Wednesday morning on westbound I-90 near milepost 17 as dense fog continues to reduce visibility across Kootenai County.
According to the Idaho State Police, the crash occurred near Coeur d’Alene, prompting emergency crews to the scene. Officials warn that visibility is “low due to fog” and urge drivers to slow down, turn on headlights, and move over for emergency vehicles.
The thick fog blanket has made driving conditions hazardous in several parts of northern Idaho, particularly along I-90 between Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene. Troopers are asking motorists to maintain extra distance and avoid sudden stops while traveling through the affected stretch.
No injuries or road closures have been reported at this time, though traffic delays are expected as troopers work to clear the scene. The National Weather Service has also cautioned that patchy dense fog could persist through mid-morning before lifting later today.
Drivers should use caution and monitor updates from Idaho State Police and the Idaho Transportation Department for changing conditions.
