SALT LAKE CITY — Police have released the name of a man killed Saturday when he was hit by a car while walking in traffic.
Adrian Gonzalez, 23, of Brownsville, Texas, was reportedly wearing dark clothing and walking in the center of the southbound lane when he was hit about 3:30 a.m. Saturday at 771 N. Victory Road.
Investigators said the driver who hit Gonzalez did not appear to be impaired, but simply couldn't see the man. Salt Lake Police Lt. Michael Ross said at the time of the accident it was "very odd" that the victim was in the area at that hour, as there was no vehicle found nearby.
