SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 30, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — A woman was transported to an area hospital with a suspected broken leg after she was hit by a truck in Salt Lake City Monday morning.
Salt Lake City Police Department Sgt. Keith Horrocks told Gephardt Daily the incident occurred in the area of 780 N. 900 West at 6:48 a.m.
The truck driver was southbound on 900 West approaching a crosswalk at 800 North. The woman was in the crosswalk, but she was wearing all black and had headphones in, Horrocks said.
He added there was no traffic light and no stop sign at the crosswalk. The accident occurred around half an hour before sunrise.
