NORTH END, BOISE — Boise Police are currently investigating a crash that killed a young girl on Tuesday afternoon at approximately 4:42 p.m. at the intersection of N Harrison Blvd & W Ada St.
According to a BPD press release, a preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of a pickup truck was traveling west on Ada St. and stopped at a stop sign at Harrison Blvd.
The juvenile pedestrian, also traveling west on Ada St., had stopped on the sidewalk on the northeast corner of the intersection.
