A 73-year-old man who police say was hit by a truck Friday in Salt Lake City and left on the side of the road has died from his injuries, a family member told FOX 13.
According to Lt. Russ Amott with the Salt Lake City Police Department, the man — identified as Joseph Buford, the owner of Cowboy Joe’s Dog Boarding — was walking a dog in the evening on Beck Street when he was struck.
Amott said the truck pulled over, then the driver got out and pulled the man out of the road before fleeing the scene.
