LAYTON — A 41-year-old man was killed after being hit by a car, and police are looking for the person responsible.
Lt. Travis Lyman with the Layton Police Department said the crash happened at 8:13 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of 1120 North and Main Street in Layton. Police believe the man was trying to cross the road but was not using a crosswalk.
“It’s always dangerous when you’re trying to cross a good-sized road like that in the dark. So, making your way to an intersection, a controlled intersection or a crosswalk is always the safest plan,” Lyman said.
Lyman said the driver left the scene after hitting the pedestrian, and police were looking for the car. Police describe the car as an older model white construction van with a roof rack and a single window on the passenger side sliding door.
Layton police believe the van might have damage to the front end of the hood, grill, and passenger side headlight.
If anyone recognizes the van or knows any information about the driver, please call Layton police at 801 497 8300.
