A man died after being hit by a vehicle on southbound I-15 near American Fork, Utah. According to troopers, he was hit and killed after exiting his vehicle.
Utah Highway Patrol arrived at the incident at roughly 7 AM on November 13. A car had struck the right barrier, and then (for reasons troopers are still trying to determine), the driver exited the vehicle and walked back toward traffic. He was then hit by an oncoming vehicle.
While no one in the other car was injured, this man suffered fatal injuries. He has still not been identified.
The Utah Department of Transportation reports that the five right lanes of southbound traffic are closed and at a near standstill. A man we interviewed reported that he had moved only 600 feet in just under an hour. UDOT estimates the lanes will reopen around 11 AM.
