FATAL ACCIDENT -- A Salt Lake City man was struck and killed by a vehicle in Lindon after he ran into the street to ask directions of another driver, according to Lindon police.

According to Lindon police spokesman Sgt. Doug Eastman, 50-year-old Dimitre Gudjenov, who worked for a Salt Lake City-based trucking company, pulled over to the north side of Geneva Road, just south of 200 South, around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. He got out of his truck and ran over to a tow truck that was waiting at the red light in the left-hand lane to ask directions, Eastman said, and was hit by a Jeep Cherokee after inadvertently running back toward his truck after the light turned green. He was pronounced dead at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem.

Eastman said Gudjenov likely did not realize that the light had turned green. Witnesses said he darted out in front of the Jeep, and the driver did not have time to stop before hitting him, Eastman said.

It is unlikely that any charges will be filed in the accident, Eastman said.
