COEUR D’ALENE, ID – An Athol woman was sentenced this week for her role in a 2024 road rage incident that caused a violent rollover crash and left a juvenile in a coma.

Raven Alexis Crum, 33, was convicted of felony Aggravated Driving While Reckless following an August 3, 2024 crash along U.S. Highway 95 just north of Highway 53. According to investigators, Crum admitted to being involved in a road rage dispute that resulted in a two-vehicle collision involving a car carrying three juveniles.

During the incident, Crum allegedly approached the juvenile-driven vehicle from behind, passed them, and then swerved back in front of them. When the juveniles passed Crum in return, one passenger made a rude gesture. Crum then attempted to pass the vehicle again but sideswiped it while changing lanes. The juvenile-operated car veered off the highway and rolled several times.

One juvenile was ejected during the crash and suffered life-threatening injuries, spending over a week in a coma.

Crum later told authorities she lost sight of the other vehicle in her blind spot while attempting to reenter the lane.

On June 24, 2025, Senior District Judge Lansing Haynes sentenced Crum to a 7-year prison term, suspended in favor of 2 years of supervised probation, 120 days in jail, and a one-year suspension of her driver’s license.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Donna Gardner had recommended a harsher sentence: a 10-year suspended prison term with 10 years of probation, one year in jail, and a five-year license suspension.

Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney Stanley T. Mortensen thanked Gardner, the Idaho State Police, and medical responders who treated the injured juveniles.
