WENDOVER, Utah – Officials with the Utah Highway Patrol said one man was killed after he was struck by an RV on Interstate 80 in Tooele County.
State troopers said a Honda Civic was returning to Salt Lake City from West Wendover, Nevada, when two passengers, who had been drinking, needed to use a restroom.
The driver pulled over at milepost 37 around 1:21 a.m. Saturday and the two passengers exited the vehicle.
“While pulled over, one of the passengers began to walk towards traffic,” troopers said. “While in traffic, he was hit by a 2019 Fleetwood RV. The male was pronounced dead on the scene.”
