A Bonners Ferry family’s life turned upside down in an instant Saturday evening, and they are in need of the community’s help and prayers as they adjust to the harsh realities of healing the sudden and serious traumatic injuries incurred in the horrendous and everlasting seconds of a head-on vehicle collision.
Kari Bradford was driving Cow Creek Road home with her children at about 8:37 p.m. April 4 when she allegedly saw a car coming at them in her lane. She steered for the ditch, but so too did the driver of the oncoming vehicle.
Kari and their son Hunter, 11, were both badly hurt, Alisha, 14, Shawn, 8, and Amilia, 3, suffered less serious injuries.
