Man dies of hypothermia after pickup crash

GENESEE, Idaho (AP) - Latah County officials say a 34-year-old Juliaetta man died of apparent hypothermia after leaving his stranded vehicle to seek help.

Officials say Lee F. Roberts was driving his pickup truck on a south Latah County road at about midnight Friday when slick conditions caused the pickup to go off the road and get stuck. Roberts and his passenger were unable to free the truck and he left around 2:30 a.m. to go for help.

After four hours, 30-year-old Dawn Moore of Moscow went looking for Roberts. She found him unconscious and covered in snow about a half-mile from the pickup. A passing motorist took Moore to a grocery store, where she called 911 at about 7:30 a.m.

He was taken to the hospital, where he died at 10:40 a.m. Saturday.
