SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 6, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — A man is dead after a crash on Redwood Road Thursday afternoon.
Salt Lake City Police Department Det. Marie Stewart told Gephardt Daily a white sedan was heading north on Redwood Road when at some point it crossed left over the median into oncoming traffic and collided with a purple SUV in the first lane which pushed it into a white SUV in the second lane.
“The driver of the white sedan was pronounced deceased on scene,” Stewart said. “Two passengers in the white SUV were transported to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries.”
One of the passengers that was transported was a child.
The deceased man has not been identified pending notification of family.

It’s not clear why the driver swerved over into oncoming traffic.
