SALT LAKE CITY – A woman was killed in a crash on State Route 201 east of Bangerter Highway. Eastbound SR-201 was closed for over two hours.

According to Sgt. Cameron Roden of the Utah Highway Patrol, a white Chevy Malibu was stopped in the left lane with a flat tire when another car, a Honda Odyssey, struck the pedestrian and the stopped car.

“The driver was the only occupant and died at the scene of the accident,” Roden said.

A third car collided with the other two, but there were no other injuries.

The UHP said the driver was cooperating.

The closure lasted until shortly after 2 p.m. on Thursday.
