The Ada County Coroner’s Office has identified the Boise pedestrian who was struck and killed by a vehicle along the Interstate 184 Connector.

Kobe Stanard “stepped into traffic” in the eastbound lanes of the Connector near Milepost 2 when he was hit by a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse at about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday, according to Idaho State Police and the coroner’s office. The SUV was driven by a 41-year-old Nampa woman. Stanard was 20.

He died at the scene from his injuries, Idaho State Police said. The coroner’s office has not released his cause or manner of death.

Multiple lanes of traffic were blocked for roughly three hours as emergency personnel investigated the crash, according to the release.

State police spokesperson Aaron Snell told the Idaho Statesman by email Thursday that charges are not expected against the driver, but the case is still under investigation.
