Gravel along the roadway contributed to a fatal crash west of Kamiah along State Highway 162 Sunday morning, according to Idaho State Police.
Sadie L. Burnett-Wagner, 67, of Spokane, died at the scene of injuries received in the crash.
Reported at 10:42 a.m. on March 7, milepost 15.8, Burnett-Wagner was southbound driving a 2005 Saturn Vue when she went into a sharp left curve and the right vehicle tires entered loose gravel. She lost control of the vehicle which went into a broadside skid, overcorrected and the Saturn slid back across the road and over the east side embankment. The driver's side of the vehicle struck a Ponderosa pine tree and came to a stop. Burnett-Wagner was wearing a seat belt.
ISP Corporal James Brouwer investigated the crash with assistance from troopers Smith and Rouse. Scene assistance was provided by personnel from the Idaho and Lewis counties sheriff's offices, Nez Perce Tribal Police and Kamiah ambulance. B&B Towing provided wrecker services.

In an unrelated incident, investigation is continuing into a two-vehicle collision on U.S. Highway 95 at Winchester Saturday evening, March 6, in which a Lewiston woman was injured.
Roberta L. Peterson, 50, was transported to St. Mary's Hospital in Cottonwood where she was treated and released.
Reported at 7:37 p.m. at milepost 278, Peterson was southbound in a 1994 Isuzu Trooper when she crossed into the path of a northbound 2009 Peterbilt tractor driven by Charles R. Nuttall, Jr., 45, of Hayden Lake. Nuttall swerved to avoid Peterson by going into the southbound lane, however, Peterson's Isuzu struck the tractor and trailer, causing it to flip down an embankment and into a ditch.
The semi tractor and trailer completely blocked the roadway for 2.5 hours. Roadway conditions at the time were dry and bare. Nuttall was wearing a seat belt, however, that was unknown for Peterson.
ISP is investigating the crash. Scene assistance was provided by the Lewis County Sheriff's Office and Idaho Transportation Department. Long's Towing of Cottonwood provided wrecker services.
