fatal

About three weeks ago I shared another study from FleetLogging that had Boise's rush hour traffic the worst in the US, based off their criteria. As someone who lived in Portland Oregon for years, where for me an hour and a half commute each way wasn't abnormal, I was skeptical. However this new study is worse than just taking the longest to get anywhere. It is about the chances you will actually get to where you are going.

Right now the Idaho State Police are scratching their heads wondering what possibly could have happened to set these two vehicles on a deathly collision.

Piper Reed was just 34-years-old. She had her Golden Retriever with her as she was traveling along HWY 75 yesterday south of Ketchum when the 2007 white Toyota pickup she was driving was hit head-on.

Every time a tragedy like this happens I'm reminded of how fragile and precious life is. 56-years-old obviously isn't a kid anymore, but it's still far too young to die.

This story broke my heart. She was just 26-years-old when Sandy Hernandez was hit and killed walking to work. She was talking to her fiance when the horrible accident happened and now the man who hit her will not be charged in her death.

A woman is dead this morning; a child and two other people in the hospital after a terrible accident on HWY 31.

A man is dead this morning after a high-speed chase led to an officer-involved shootout in Ontario.

For a Burley man, this morning turned tragic and he never made it out. A horrible house fire discovered by kids on their way to school.

24-years-old is far too young to die. This past weekend took the life of one of our own and this morning we grieve for the ones he left behind who are missing him so much.

Every time I hear about an accident like this it reminds me of how precious life is. How any one of us could be gone in an instant. This time it's a 45-year-old man from Melba who is gone too soon.
