SANDPOINT — The driver in a deadly dump truck crash on Highway 57 was avoiding an oncoming vehicle that was in his lane of travel, according to an Idaho State Police vehicle collision report.

State police said Kenneth Clayton Ernest Abey was driving northbound when he left the right-hand side of the highway, went down a 10-foot embankment and struck several trees.

Kenneth Abey, a 25-year-old Sagle resident, was injured and his 3-year-old son, Carson, was killed when one of the trees uprooted and struck the cab of the Kenworth dump truck, the collision report said.
