Motorcycle Crash Leaves 19-Year-Old Woman in Critical Condition in Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY — A 19-year-old woman is in critical condition after a motorcycle crash Friday evening in Salt Lake City’s Ballpark neighborhood. The collision occurred around 6:50 p.m. at the intersection of State Street and 1300 South, according to Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) spokesman Yaier Javaid and multiple news reports.
Initial reports indicated the motorcyclist was in her 30s, but police later corrected this, stating the victim is a 19-year-old woman. The crash involved a northbound motorcycle and a truck that was turning left from State Street onto 1300 South. The circumstances leading the truck driver to brake, resulting in the collision, are still under investigation.
First responders found the woman on the ground with potentially life-threatening injuries. She was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. The severity of her injuries necessitates a thorough investigation by the SLCPD, according to authorities.
Preliminary reports suggest impairment does not appear to be a factor in the accident. However, further details regarding the cause of the crash remain unavailable.
Due to the incident, significant traffic delays were reported during the evening rush hour. Police advised drivers to use Main Street as a north-south detour and 1700 South or 900 South as an east-west detour. The roads reopened later, though the exact time is not specified in the reports. The investigation into the accident is ongoing.
