LEWISTON- A man is in critical condition after crashing his truck Tuesday night.

Michael Todhunter was driving east on Soldier's Meadow Road with his 12-year-old son at about 6:15 Tuesday night.

Once they were able to free Todhunter, Lewiston Paramedics transported him to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center where he was stabilized and air lifted to Sacred Heart Medical Center. Todhunter was listed in critical condition at the Spokane hospital Tuesday afternoon. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
