MURRAY, Utah — Two people are dead after they were struck by two separate vehicles on I-215 West in Murray early Saturday morning.
In a full press release, Utah Highway Patrol says the incident occurred just before 4:00 a.m. near 900 West in the eastbound lanes. An SUV had pulled to the shoulder, with a woman exiting the vehicle and entering the right travel lane when she was then struck by a silver Kia Spectra.
Shortly after, the driver of the SUV, a man, then exited the vehicle and attempted to move towards the woman, before he himself was struck by a dark-colored Volkswagen Tiguan.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while the man was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The eastbound lanes of I-215 West were closed at Redwood Road for hours as troopers investigated. The road has since been reopened.
