SALT LAKE CITY — A pedestrian was struck by a semitruck on southbound I-15 near 1000 North in Salt Lake City Monday morning, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
Troopers received a call about the collision at 6:41 a.m., said UHP Sgt. Andrew Battenfield. The incident occurred near the on-ramp to the freeway at 1000 North, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
UHP Lt. Cam Roden later said the pedestrian was a 22-year-old man, but officials have not provided information about the extent of any injuries. Roden said investigators suspect it was intentional and possibly an attempted suicide.
The roadway was initially closed, but authorities quickly opened the left two lanes of southbound traffic. All traffic impacts were cleared as of 11 a.m.
More details about the crash were not immediately available.
