ROY, Utah — The man who struck an 87-year-old pedestrian in Roy and failed to stay at the scene of the crash has been sentenced.
Jose Salgado-Rivera was sentenced Monday to 179 days in the Weber County Jail, with 134 days being suspended and a day credit for time served.
Salgado-Rivera pleaded guilty to abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult by criminal negligence. He was arrested by Roy police in 2025, a day after he hit Beverly Kay Quarles, who was crossing an intersection.
Investigators said Salgado-Rivera, who was on active military duty, told a military official about the incident, and that official turned him in to Roy police.
Salgado-Rivera will also serve three years of probation and will have to undergo Moral Reconation Therapy.
