COEUR d'ALENE - An 18-year-old Coeur d'Alene man was killed Wednesday morning in a two-vehicle accident on U.S. 95, eight miles south of Coeur d'Alene.

James F. Winzer was eastbound on Carnie Road when he pulled onto U.S. 95 and was struck by a southbound tractor-trailer rig traveling in the left lane of the highway, the Idaho State Police said.

The accident occurred at 7:24 a.m., and Winzer died at the scene, police said. Winzer was a current student at Lake City High School, a spokeswoman for the Coeur d'Alene School District confirmed.

Winzer was driving a 2003 Chevy pickup truck, and was on his way to school when the accident occurred, police said.

Ronnie V. Ament, 65, of Athol, was driving a 2007 Kenworth tractor-trailer and was not injured, police said.

Both Winzer and Ament were wearing seat belts, police said.

The vehicles were towed from the scene.
