An SUV driver ran over and seriously injured a man sleeping beneath a Salt Lake City interstate offramp early Monday. The driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with SLCPD’s investigation, according to police.
the 38-year-old man who was run over was experiencing homelessness and had been sleeping in a parking lot beneath the Interstate 15 ramp, near 545 West 600 South.
The driver, who police said works in the area and regularly parks in that lot, ran over the man just before 6 a.m. Police noted it was still dark outside and there are no lights beneath the ramp. The driver hit the man in a gravel portion of the lot, where people experiencing homelessness are known to camp. The driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with SLCPD’s investigation, according to police.
The man the driver ran over was initially in critical condition, police said, but after an ambulance took him to a hospital, medical staff upgraded his condition to “serious, but stable.” SLCPD’s crash analysis reconstruction team as well as the department’s crime lab are leading the investigation due to the “severity of the man’s injuries,” police said.
