This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, some sad news of a fatal collision with a moose.
Idaho
Rexburg Man Dead After Hitting a Moose on US20. A quote:
‘Troopers with Idaho State Police are investigating a fatal accident that happened Tuesday morning involving a vehicle colliding with a moose.
The accident happened at 7:25 a.m. on US20 at milepost 354 in Fremont County when a Hyundai Elantra hit a bull moose that was crossing the road.
The driver broadsided the moose and then went off the right shoulder, struck a power pole, and rolled.
The 28-year-old male driver from Rexburg was wearing a seat belt but died from his injuries.”
JWR’s Comment: Moose collisions can be very dangerous to drivers, simply because moose are so tall, that they tend to go over the hoods of cars, and through windshields. The photo above was taken by Avalanche Lily.
