Cyclist down. Words no person should ever have to see...
Last night a life was taken by a motorist on 700 East near 800 South. While riding with a group of friends, Brynn Barton, was struck and pronounced dead upon EMT arrival on the scene. The driver is suspected to have been driving a dark colored Volkswagen, and I say "suspected" because the coward ran off, so keep an eye out!
In memory of this accident a ghost bike has been placed at the Southwest corner of 700 East and 800 South. We ask that cyclists passing by place flowers, chains, or whatever you please in memory of this fallen cyclist.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Salt Lake City Police Department at 801-799-4636, reference case 11-91175. Callers may remain anonymous. Press release available on the Salt Lake City Police Dept website. Driver was in a 1998-2001 dark or black Volkswagen Passat.
