SLCPD Investigating Critical Injury Crash in Sugarhouse

SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a crash that left a 74-year-old woman with critical injuries after being hit by a car.

This investigation started at 10:48 a.m. on Monday, October 31, 2022 when SLC911 received multiple calls about a woman who had been hit by a car near 2135 South 900 East.

The Salt Lake City Fire Department found the woman in the road and immediately started providing life-saving aid.

Gold Cross Ambulance transported the woman to the hospital, where she remains in critical condition.

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

Based on the preliminary information, officers believe the driver turned southbound on 900 East from a business and at some point, hit the woman crossing the street.
