South Salt Lake police on Friday arrested a man suspected of hitting a pedestrian while driving a stolen motorcycle then speeding off earlier this week.
Officers spotted the man late Friday afternoon as they canvassed a neighborhood near 400 East and 2500 South, where the motorcycle had been discovered hidden in some bushes a day earlier, South Salt Lake police spokesman Gary Keller said.
The crash occurred at 3300 South and 900 West just before midnight Tuesday. Police found a 49-year-old man lying unconscious in a crosswalk with serious head injuries.
The man fled on the bike, then on foot.
