Idaho Driver Killed in 3-Vehicle Crash Over the Weekend Near Boise

The deadly accident happened Saturday night, just about 40 minutes before midnight, at the intersection of Riverside Road and SH55 near Nampa.

In the report from the Idaho State Police, we learn that the incident involved 3 vehicles, and all occupants of the vehicles were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash:

A blue 1999 Ford Escort, driven by a 59-year-old man from Boise and occupied by a 29-year-old woman from Greenleaf, was traveling westbound on Riverside Road when it failed to stop at the intersection and entered State Highway 55.

The Ford collided with a northbound silver 2025 Toyota Tundra driven by a 47-year-old man from Pasco, Washington, who was accompanied by a 50-year-old female passenger, also from Pasco.

The 3rd vehicle was a 2022 Honda Civic headed southbound on the highway by a 23-year-old female from Texas. The Civic wasn’t struck by a vehicle but instead swerved off the roadway to avoid a collision with the previous two vehicles.
