A car collision near Ponderay on Monday morning killed a 2-year-old girl.

According to Idaho State Police, Keanu M Dooley, 22, was turning left onto Sunnyside Road in his 1998 Subaru Forester when he was hit on the passenger side by Wesley Free, 29, in his 2017 Ford truck. While neither man was wearing a seatbelt, the 2-year-old girl in Dooley’s car was properly secured in a child’s seat.
