TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (AP) - A Taylorsville man who was hit by a vehicle while he checked up on people in another car crash has died in the hospital.
Police say 35-year-old Anthony Rodriguez died at Intermountain Medical Center on Saturday, four days after he was struck.
Authorities say Rodriguez had called 911 after witnessing a two-car crash at the intersection of Redwood Road and 5200 South, near his home.
He was in the road apparently checking on the people in the crash when he was hit by a passing car.
The people in the original accident were not injured.
Hoyal says the case is still being investigated and it’s unknown whether the 21-year-old driver who hit Rodriguez will face charges.
