BOISE -- The name of a man found dead after a "low-speed" collision with a mailbox in Boise's North End has been released.

The Ada County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 48-year-old Frank William Sutton of Boise.

Officers were called out to the area of North 7th and Ridenbaugh streets at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday. They arrived to find Sutton's car crashed into a mailbox.

The car was locked and still running, police say. Officers were unable to rouse the driver; after breaking one of the car's windows, they realized he was dead.
