Dog missing after Sunday collision

Police are asking for help in finding a dog that ran off after its owner was involved in a two-vehicle collision on Sunday morning.

Idaho State Police report that a red 2016 GMC Yukon towing a white horse trailer was westbound on Hayden Avenue, attempting to turn left (south) onto State Highway 41 at 11:55 a.m.

A silver 2005 Buick LeSabre driven by a Spirit Lake man was northbound on Highway 41 at the same time, and the two vehicles collided in the intersection, police reported.

The Spirit Lake man was transported to a nearby hospital and was treated and released, police reported. No one else was injured.

Additionally, ISP is asking anyone in the area of Highway 41 and Hayden Avenue to be on the lookout for a dog who was ejected from the rear of the GMC as a result of the collision.

The dog is a 2-year-old Border Collie Heeler mix named "Tilly." She has no tail, a dark-colored face, weighs approximately 70 pounds, and was wearing a multi-colored plaid and tan-colored collar with a name tag containing the owner's contact information.

Tilly was last seen running northwest from the crash scene through the field. Tilly's family is from Hayden and is doing all they can to find the dog.

Anyone in the area who has seen or who finds Tilly is urged to contact the owners listed on Tilly's tag, the Idaho State Police at 208-209-7830, or the Kootenai County Sheriff Office's Animal Control at 208-446-1300, so Tilly can be reunited with his owners.

ISP troopers would like to speak with anyone who witnessed the crash. Witnesses can contact the primary investigator, ISP Sgt. Allen Ashby, at 208-209-8730.
