SLCPD Investigating Serious Injury Crash

SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a crash that critically injured a 64-year-old woman.

This investigation started at 12:16 p.m. on Friday, June 24, 2022, when SLC911 received information about a crash involving a van and a person near Redwood Road and North Temple Street.

Officers arrived and found the victim on the ground. Paramedics transported the woman to a local hospital in critical condition. No updates on her condition are available.

The driver of the van remained on scene and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
