Boise, ID (June 22, 2024) – Local authorities said that a man driving a motorcycle died in West Boise after a collision with a turning vehicle Thursday night near Boise Towne Square, according to the Boise Police Department.

Police responded to the crash in the area of Preece Drive and Milwaukee Street just after 10:30 p.m., Thursday, according to a BPD news release. The motorcyclist was traveling northbound on Milwaukee when the crash occurred with the vehicle, which was turning southbound onto Milwaukee from Preece, police said. Milwaukee was closed in both directions for about four hours after the crash. The man was pronounced dead at the scene; Boise EMTs assisted, though they did not say if anyone else was hurt in the crash. Witnesses were asked to get in touch with local authorities if they had additional information.

We offer our deepest condolences to the deceased man's family.
