BOISE, Idaho — A candlelight vigil is planned for Saturday to honor Mora Gerety, who was killed in a pedestrian crash on Tuesday.
Mora, an 8-year-old from Boise, was struck by a vehicle Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of Harrison Boulevard and Ada Street in Boise's North End and died later that evening at St. Luke's Boise Medical Center. Gerety's death was listed as an accident by the Ada County Coroner's Office.
On ACHD's Facebook page, the department announced that Boise Police will temporarily close Harrison Boulevard to allow the community to safely honor Mora.
The closure will be in effect from 4 to 9 p.m. between Resseguie and Sherman Streets, and on W. Ada Street between 15th and 17th Streets.
Depending on safety concerns, officers may allow traffic through in between vigils.
The candlelight vigil will be held at 7 p.m. at the intersection of Harrison Boulevard and Ada Street. Those hoping to attend are advised to bring their own candles if possible. However, extra candles will be available to the public.
