Idaho State Police and the Coeur d’Alene Police Department responded to a vehicle vs pedestrian crash Monday at 5:30 p.m. on Appleway Avenue just east of U.S. 95, in Coeur d’Alene.

Robert J. Johnson, 77, of Coeur d’Alene was walking southbound across Appleway when he was struck by a black Chevrolet Corvette traveling eastbound, driven by Rex Wynn, 60, of Coeur d’Alene.

Johnson was subsequently struck by a second vehicle, a gray Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Evelyn Riddell, 72, of Marin County, Calif.

Johnson was not in the crosswalk at the time he was struck. He died at the scene despite lifesaving measures.

Both drivers were wearing their seat belts and alcohol was not a factor for either driver. The investigation is ongoing.
