A 65-year-old woman who died Tuesday after a crash on Interstate 84 in Boise was identified Wednesday afternoon by the Ada County Coroner’s Office as Middleton resident Chari Garrett.

Garrett was driving eastbound on I-84 around milepost 59 just before 9 a.m. when her 2004 Dodge Ram pickup drove off the road into a median and flipped onto its roof, according to a news release Tuesday from Idaho State Police. Garrett was wearing a seat belt and was taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, police said, where she died.

Garrett’s cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries, the coroner’s report said.

The crash briefly blocked a portion of the interstate’s left westbound lane, according to the release. State police said they are investigating the crash.
