South Jordan, Utah — Tuesday a man died after being struck by a pick-up truck while crossing a South Jordan road.
According to police, the 50-year-old man was trying to head north when he stepped into oncoming traffic at River Front Parkway and 11400 South just before 7 a.m.
Police say a car traveling eastbound was able to avoid the man, but a second vehicle, a black pick-up truck, hit the man. Suffering from severe injuries, the man was transported to the hospital where he later died.
It’s not known why the man attempted to cross while traffic had a green light, but police do not believe impairment was a factor.
