OSBURN, Idaho (AP) _ Officials with the Idaho Department of Fish
and Game say that motorists in northern Idaho should watch out for
wolves on the road.

The Coeur d'Alene Press reports that the Shoshone County
Sheriff's Office says a black wolf was hit and killed by a sport
utility vehicle last week on Interstate 90. Capt. Jeremy Groves
says it was the department's first vehicle vs. wolf call of the
season, but more are likely to come.

Idaho Department of Fish and Game Regional Supervisor Chip Corsi
says there are quite a bit of wolves in the St. Joe basin and they
tend to travel a lot _ and that means crossing Interstate 90 and
other roads.
