KUNA (Idaho Statesman) — A 44-year-old man is dead after his vehicle crashed into a tree in Kuna during the night on Saturday, according to Ada County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Lauren Montague.
Kuna police responded around 12:30 a.m. to a report of a crash near North Ash Avenue and West 4th Street, Montague said in an email.
“Preliminary information indicated the vehicle was traveling westbound on West 4th Street prior to leaving the roadway and striking a tree,” Montague said. There was no one else in the car. The crash is under investigation, according to Montague.
Kuna contracts with Ada County for police services, according to previous Statesman reporting.
