Man loses control of scooter, dies in early-morning crash on Federal Way in Boise

A man died in a single-vehicle crash over the weekend in Boise, according to a news release from the Boise Police Department.

The accident occurred just before 2 a.m. July 14 near S. Federal Way and S. Findley Avenue.

The adult male, who was driving a Vespa-style scooter, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries but did not survive, according to police.
