SALT LAKE CITY — Authorities released the name of a man Wednesday who died from injuries suffered from crashing his personal electric scooter into a parked car Saturday.

Salt Lake City police said Carl Lemmon, 62, of Salt Lake City, died at University of Utah Hospital from injuries suffered in the crash. Hospital officials said Lemmon died Sunday morning.

Lemmon was riding a scooter when he crashed into a parked car near 400 South and 300 West about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Salt Lake Police Lt. Jenn Diederich.
