SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah — A South Salt Lake man has been booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail in connection with a hit-and-run incident that left one man dead and another critically injured.

The accident occurred near 3300 South Main Street at approximately 11:51 p.m. on March 9.

According to the South Salt Lake Police Department, two men were crossing the street during a green crosswalk light, but the light turned red while they were in the intersection.

Kidrick was taken into custody without incident on Tuesday afternoon around 2:30. He faces felony charges of failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving a death and failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving a serious injury.

The case will be screened by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office.
