S.L. man is killed darting into traffic
MAGNA -- A man was killed Monday when he darted into traffic on U-111 near 4100 South.
Killed was:Jay Howcroft, 38, Salt Lake City.
Apparently the man and his girlfriend were on a return trip from Wendover when their car ran out of gas in Magna. They were returning to the car after calling for help when the man crossed U-111 from east to west and was struck by an Isuzu Rodeo, Salt Lake County Fire Capt. Bill Brass said.
Witnesses said the impact sent the man flying through the air about 60 feet before he hit the ground, landing on his head.
