The westbound side of the road was closed while police investigated. The driver, a 24-year-old man from South Weber, Utah man did stay on the scene.
According to preliminary investigations, the Utah man, driving a 2012 Dodge Charger, was driving west and had a green light at the upcoming intersection. "Simultaneously, two pedestrians — an adult male and an adult female — were running across Route 16 from south to north. The pedestrians ran across all lanes of eastbound traffic and were crossing the westbound lanes when the male pedestrian was struck by the Charger in the right lane. The female pedestrian was not struck," said State Police said.
It appears the man and a woman did not have the right of way. No charges have been filed at this time.
