IDAHO COUNTY, Idaho — Two Larimer County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) deputies died in an off-duty motorcycle crash Tuesday evening, according to Idaho State Police and a Colorado Fraternal Order of Police announcement Thursday.
Larimer County Sheriff's Office Deputy Ethan Powers, Sgt. Jeremy Coleman and his son-in-law Nathan McCormick, were traveling on a North Idaho scenic highway when the driver of a Ford F-150 pickup truck allegedly attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. When the pickup driver crossed the highway's double-yellow centerline, the driver collided with the three motorcyclists on the other side of the roadway, Idaho Staet Police said.
The driver of the Ford F-150 was a 60-year-old woman from Colorado Springs, according to Idaho State Police — the agency investigating the crash. The suspect in the crash was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on three counts of vehicular manslaughter, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.
The three motorcyclists were all from Colorado. Powers, 35, was from Timnath; Coleman, 45, was from Berthoud; and McCormick, 26, was from Loveland.
The Idaho County Coroner's Office released the three men's identities after their families were notified of the fatal crash.
