Update: Ada County coroner identifies motorcyclist who died in Boise crash
A crash involving an electric motorcycle and a truck resulted in the death of the motorcyclist two weeks ago, according to a news release Monday from the Boise Police Department.
Public notification of the crash, which occurred on April 11 at Division Street and W. Hale Street, was delayed in part to allow time to notify next of kin.
On Tuesday, the motorcyclist was identified as Tyson Twilegar, 47, of Boise, according to a news release from the Ada County Coroner’s Office. Twilegar died from “traumatic blunt force injuries.”
Boise police detectives and the crash reconstruction team responded to the initial scene to investigate, and video evidence was also recovered, according to the police release. The investigation showed the driver of a truck was headed southbound on Division Street and stopped at the intersection for a pedestrian before turning left onto Hale Street.
Twilegar was also traveling southbound on Division and attempted to pass the truck on the left at the same time as the turn, and the two vehicles collided. Twilegar was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and died the next day, according to Boise police.
The investigation of the accident is ongoing and no charges have been filed.
