A 26-year-old man was arrested after a fatal crash Wednesday night.
According to a news release from the Salt Lake City Police Department, the department received information about a crash involving a car and motorcycle near 900 South and 300 West at 10:39 p.m. on Wednesday.
SLCPD’s Collision and Reconstruction task force determined the motorcyclist died after colliding with the man’s vehicle when he exited a parking lot and pulled onto 300 West.
Investigators later determined the man had a blood alcohol content of 0.129%, over twice the legal limit of .05%.
