SLCPD Investigating Deadly Crash

SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a deadly crash involving a pedestrian and a Nissan pick-up.

This investigation started at 3:31 p.m. on Wednesday November 30, 2022, when SLC911 received information about a crash at 2100 East and 1300 South.

While officers responded, they received information that people on scene had started emergency life-saving aid, including CPR.

Gold Cross Ambulance and the Salt Lake City Fire Department transported the victim to a local hospital in critical condition.

The victim died at the hospital.

Based on the preliminary investigation, the driver of the pick-up hit the victim while they were in a marked crosswalk.

It appears the driver was turning from 1300 South to 2100 East.

This crash marks the 24th traffic-related fatality in Salt Lake City for 2022.

The name and age of the victim are not being released pending next-of-kin notification.
