SOUTH SALT LAKE — Officials have identified the man who died at a hospital after getting struck by a TRAX train in South Salt Lake on Thursday night.

UTA spokesman Carl Arky said Edgar Juarez-Santana, 23, was struck by a northbound Blue Line train at 2950 S. 200 West just after it left the Millcreek Station about 8:39 p.m. It is unknown why the man was on the tracks.

No one on the train was injured, but Juarez-Santana was transported to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray in critical condition. He later died at the hospital, Arky said.

A bus bridge was implemented between Central Pointe and Meadowbrook stations.
