SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 1, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) â Salt Lake City police are seeking tips after a hit and run crash that injured two people on Monday afternoon.
Police were alerted at 4:02 p.m. to a car crash behind an apartment complex near 400 N. Pamela Way, west of the city’s Fairpark neighborhood.
“Officers responded and learned a car hit two men as they stood in the apartment complexâs driveway,” says a statement released by the SLCPD public relations department.
“The investigation shows the driver of a stolen red Dodge Intrepid hit the two men. The driver and at least two other people, believed to be minors, all ran immediately after the crash.”
Two men, 24 and 34, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The younger man’s injuries were described as serious. Both men were transported to an area hospital.

The SLCPD asks anyone with information on the crash to call 801-799-3000 and reference case #23-169345.
