Ada coroner identifies Boise teen killed when he was struck by car while riding e-scooter
The Ada County Coroner’s Office has identified the 13-year-old boy who died after he was hit by a car while he was riding an electric scooter.
The boy, identified as Boise resident Landon Hyland, died just after 3 a.m. Saturday morning at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center in Boise, according to a news release from the coroner’s office. The cause and manner of Hyland’s death have yet to be determined, as his autopsy is pending.
Around 7:30 p.m. Friday, Idaho State Police were called to a crash on Marble Front Road near Andrew Court in Caldwell after hearing reports of a crash.
Police later learned that a 32-year-old Caldwell man driving a Ford Escape and a boy on an electric scooter — now known to be Hyland — were driving west on Marble Front Road. The boy on the scooter tried to cross the road and was hit by the car, according to police. The boy was not wearing a helmet.
State police said Hyland was taken via ambulance to St. Luke’s, where he was later pronounced dead.
The crash is being investigated by state police.
