STAR, Idaho — An elderly woman is dead after police say a male driver struck her while attempting to park in a private lot at the 11000 block of W. State Street in Star.
The Ada County Coroner's Office (ACCO) has identified the victim as 87-year-old Winona Johnson of Boise. ACCO says the death was accidental and resulted from "multiple blunt force injuries."
According to the Ada County Sheriff's Office, at 4:29 p.m. on Wednesday, Star Police deputies were dispatched to the scene of a vehicle versus pedestrian injury crash.
