Salt Lake City, UT (May 29, 2026) – Two teenagers were injured Thursday, May 28, after being struck by a vehicle in Salt Lake City.
The crash happened just before noon near the intersection of 400 North and 200 West. Salt Lake City police said the collision involved a vehicle and two minor pedestrians.
One of the teens was taken to a hospital after the crash. Their condition was not immediately released. The report did not say whether the second teen was also transported.
The adult driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with investigators. No names or additional medical details were released in the initial report.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. We hope both injured teens receive the care and support needed during recovery.
Why Teen Pedestrian Accidents Can Be Serious
Teen pedestrian accidents can lead to serious injuries because people walking have no protection from a vehicle. A pedestrian may suffer head, chest, spine, arm, leg, or internal injuries after being struck or knocked to the ground.
Intersections can be especially risky because drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists may all be moving through the same space. Traffic signals, crosswalks, visibility, turning movements, and vehicle speed can all affect how a crash happens. Investigators may review roadway markings, camera footage, witness statements, and vehicle damage to understand the collision.
