PRIEST RIVER, Idaho (AP) — A woman has died after being struck by a logging truck in northern Idaho.

Idaho State Police tell the Bonner County Daily Bee (http://bit.ly/2v5Ba7b) that the woman died at the scene Thursday morning after the fully loaded 1992 Kenworth tractor-trailer overturned and struck the jogger.

Police say the driver was on a left-hand curve at about 10 a.m. on Dufort Road near the town of Priest River when he encountered the woman jogging.

The woman's name hasn't been released.

Police say the driver wasn't wearing a seat belt but didn't say whether he sustained injuries.

Police are continuing to investigate.
