COEUR D'ALENE - Authorities in Idaho said a man has died when his motorboat was struck by another operated by a suspected drunk driver.
Sgt. Matt Street of the Kootenai County sheriff's department said 30-year-old Jack A. Miller Jr. of Stites was killed Saturday while fishing with a friend on the Spokane River near Mill River.
Street said Miller's boat was not moving when it was struck by a smaller motorboat driven by 45-year-old John F. Klinefelter of Coeur d'Alene. He said Miller and his friend, both of whom were not wearing life jackets, were thrown overboard while Klinefelter's boat ran ashore.
Street said Miller was taken to Kootenai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
He said Klinefelter faces a charge of aggravated operating under the influence.
