“Based on the preliminary information, detectives believe the driver lost control of his car while traveling westbound on 2100 North. The car left the road and rolled several times before coming to a stop a long distance away. Speed likely played a factor in the crash, but the investigation is in the early stages,” a press release from the Salt Lake City Police Department stated Thursday afternoon.
Police said this crash marks the 17th traffic-related fatality in Salt Lake City for 2022.
The victim was identified on Friday as 70-year-old Norman Brent Stevenson.
