Boise Woman Dies After Being Hit By Truck on Eagle Road

 

A Boise woman died after she was hit by a pickup truck while crossing Eagle Road early Saturday morning.

It appears the woman was walking in or near the crosswalk area on Eagle Road at the Riverside Drive intersection when she was struck by the pickup, which was going north.

A press release reports, the crash occurred just after midnight.

Officers interviewed the driver of the truck, who remained at the scene until officers arrived.

Paramedics transported the woman to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead a short time later.

The woman was wearing dark clothing at the time. Her car was parked nearby in a parking lot.

Ada County Sheriff’s investigators continue to develop evidence and are awaiting the results of toxicology and evidence tests.

The northbound lanes of Eagle Road were closed for several hours Saturday morning as investigators collected evidence.

The Ada County Coroner’s office will do an autopsy and is expected to publicly identify the woman this week.
