BOISE, Idaho — A driver passed away on Sunday from injuries sustained in a car crash that occurred at the intersection of W. Amity Rd. and S. Cole Rd. in Boise on Jan. 15, reports the Ada County Sheriff's Office (ACSO).
According to a news release from ACSO, a 77-year-old woman was traveling southbound on S. Cole Rd. in a 2015 Hyundai Tucson when she collided with a 2014 Toyota Avalon driven by a 58-year-old man in the intersection of W. Amity Rd. The driver of the 2014 Toyota Avalon was turning from the eastbound lane of W. Amity onto the northbound stretch of S. Cole Road when the collision happened.
It's unclear whether the left turn was protected or not.
Both drivers were taken to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. On Jan. 18, the 58-year-old driver of the Hyundai Tucson died from injuries sustained in the crash while being treated in the ICU of the Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.
The Ada County Coroner's Office has since identified the victim as Todd Distin of Boise.
This fatal car crash is being investigated by the Ada County Sheriff's Office Collision Reconstruction Team. If you or anyone you know has information regarding the crash, ACSO asks that you please email them via their tip line.
