SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 8. 2024 — A bicyclist struck by a car last weekend has died from her injuries, the Salt Lake City Police Department says.
The woman was 45-year-old BreAnna Anderson.
The investigation began at 12:07 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22, when a Salt Lake City Police officer spotted a car stopped in the road with its hazard lights on near 400 West and 800 South, in the city’s Ballpark neighborhood.
“The officer walked up to the car and found Anderson lying in the road with multiple injuries. The Salt Lake City Fire Department and Gold Cross Ambulance took Anderson to the hospital with life-threatening injuries,” an SLCPD update says.
