Utah man sentenced to jail time for leaving scene of fatal motorcycle-pedestrian crash

A man who was riding a stolen motorcycle last year when he hit and fatally injured a pedestrian in South Salt Lake, and then fled the scene, has been sentenced to jail time.

Lutolofi Maama, 20, of West Valley City, admitted in 3rd District Court documents that on Aug. 29, 2017, he was involved in a collision that fatally injured 49-year-old Mark E. Swindle, who died a week later at a hospital.

Maama pleaded guilty in February to felony counts of theft by receiving, failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury and failure to stop at the command of police.
