WEST JORDAN, Utah, July 17, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who pulled in front of a motorcycle in West Jordan, then fled after the motorcyclist collided with the vehicle in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
West Jordan Police Department Lt. Dean Waters told Gephardt Daily the incident occurred in the area of 4080 W. 9000 South just after 12:50 a.m.
The motorcyclist was left with broken bones, and was transported to an area hospital by ground ambulance in serious but stable condition.
The driver of the vehicle fled the scene.
Waters said police do not have a description of the vehicle that hit the motorcyclist, but said it may have some damage.
Anyone who was in the area at the time or has any information about the incident is asked to call the WJPD on 801-256-2000.
The motorcyclist has a broken sternum, a broken wrist, a broken pelvis and a fractured back. He is sleeping 90% of the time right now and struggling to breathe and can’t move. This was way more than broken bones, if it wasn’t for Eric (the motorcyclist) in full gear he would not be here today.
Update on how he is doing and did they get the person that hit him? Anything that people can look out for to find this hit and run driver?
Praying for speedy recovery and to find who did this to you.
He is in a rehab center now. His back is fractured in 5 places, but is stable now. He just had surgery on his wrist and waiting to hear about anything on his hip. This is the vehicle that hit Eric. Its a Toyota Previa van gray in color. It will have front and passenger side damage.
