SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Salt Lake City Police have shared new details about a serious collision that occurred Friday evening near 1300 South and State Street.
Emergency crews were dispatched around 6:50 p.m. on April 4 following multiple 911 calls reporting a crash involving a truck and a motorcycle. Upon arrival, officers located a woman in her 30s on the roadway with critical injuries.
According to police, the woman was immediately transported to a nearby hospital. Her condition is described as critical and potentially life-threatening.
