The Ada County Coroner’s Office identified 43-year-old Marcie Rivas as the passenger of a Toyota Camry, driven by a 44-year-old man. Rivas and the driver, both Melba residents, were going southbound on Southside Boulevard around 8:40 p.m. Saturday, April 20, when a Ford F150 pickup truck driving eastbound on Melmont Road didn’t make a complete stop and collided with the Toyota, according to Idaho State Police.
