South Salt Lake Police are investigating a serious auto-pedestrian crash involving a man in a wheelchair.

The accident took place early Thursday morning along 300 West and 3200 South when a driver of a pickup truck traveling northbound struck the man.

Lt. Gregg Carlson with South Salt Lake Police says that the driver immediately pulled over and called police and has been cooperating in their ongoing investigation.

The man in the wheelchair was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Police say the injured man was in the roadway and not on a crosswalk.
