MURRAY — Police have identified a man who died Tuesday night in a crash in Murray.

The crash happened about 9:45 p.m. at the intersection of 5460 South and State Street. One car was southbound on State Street and was turning left when it was hit by a northbound car, said Murray police spokeswoman Kristin Reardon.

One vehicle rolled after the collision, while the other slid a distance from the intersection. Driver Abdulhameed "Abdul" Y. Alzouabi, 19, of Midvale was killed in the crash. Police did not say which car Alzouabi was driving.

Police said the other driver — a 73-year-old Murray resident — is in "extremely critical condition" at a local hospital as of Thursday afternoon.

Reardon said the crash remains under investigation, and police are seeking the public's help for information regarding the driver of a white Mercedes GL who was also involved in the crash.
