Post Falls – A driver of a Jeep suffering an undisclosed medical episode was at fault for two crashes near Mullan Avenue and Idaho Street around 9:15 am Friday.

Witnesses at the scene said that the Jeep hit a vehicle in the intersection, bounced off of it, and continued at a high velocity westbound in the eastbound lane of Mullan Avenue. This is when it had a head-on collision with a Ford Contour. The Jeep then flipped, landed on its roof, and slid to a stop.

The Jeep’s driver, John Watson, 59, of Post Falls, was said to have suffered a traumatic leg injury. Also in the passenger side of the Jeep was a 13 year-old boy who suffered injuries to the face and leg, police reported.

The Ford’s driver, James Norris, 37, also of Post Falls, suffered multiple fractures.

Police also said that freezing fog, ice, and a thin layer of snow on the roadway contributed to the accident. There has been no report as to the current state of the injured or the nature of Watson’s medical episode.
