Two hit-and-run crashes occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning in Salt Lake City, with one resulting in the victim's death.
The first incident happened around 1:45 a.m. when police received a report of a man lying on the ground near 700 East and 500 South. Officers responded and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Salt Lake City Police.
The second hit-and-run happened around 4:45 a.m. in the Ballpark neighborhood. Two teenagers, ages 13 and 14, were reportedly crossing 1300 South in a crosswalk at West Temple when they were hit by a pickup, which was traveling west on 13th. The teens sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Members of the Salt Lake City Fire Department said it appeared the teens were dragged by the truck, which did not stop at the scene.
