The crash killed the male driver of the sedan. A male passenger in the car was transported to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries.
The driver of the pickup suffered no physical injuries.
The name of the man killed will be released by the Ada County Coroner after his family is notified. According to Boise Police policy, names of the other people involved will not be released, pending the ongoing investigation, or if a criminal charge is filed.
