MURRAY, Utah — A woman who was critically injured by two hit-and-run drivers Thursday night in Murray has died, and police are still looking for the suspects who fled the scene.
Murray Police said the woman — later identified as 53-year-old Kimberley Jean Jespersen — was crossing 4500 South around 11 p.m. when she was hit by a car turning left from State Street onto 4500 South. They said this first collision was "minor."
The police department shared a video that was captured by CollisionCam, a private company. The video shows the first car stopping after hitting the pedestrian. She is then seen standing next to the driver's side door when a pickup truck heading east on 4500 drives through the intersection. Although the light was green for the truck, the driver did not stop or avoid the pedestrian and ended up hitting her again. Police said the driver of the pickup was speeding and did not stop after hitting the woman.
The first driver then also fled the scene after the woman was hit by the truck.
The pedestrian was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police confirmed Saturday that she died from her injuries. Murray Police said it appeared that the critical/fatal injuries were caused by the pickup truck.
The two vehicles were described as:
- A dark-colored hatchback passenger car
- A dark-colored truck that likely has damage to its front end
Anyone with information is asked to call 801-840-4000 and refer to case number MR2025-23474.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and her family," Murray Police wrote.
