Fatal American Fork, Utah car crash death of Alberto Marcano – Obituary
Law enforcement officials from the Utah Highway Patrol have disclosed the identity of the individual who lost his life in a tragic incident on Interstate 15 in American Fork last Thursday.
Sergeant Cameron Roden, in communication with the Daily Herald, verified that 43-year-old Alberto Marcano, a resident of Pleasant Grove, succumbed to injuries sustained after being struck by a vehicle while he was in the process of changing a tire along the freeway.
The unfortunate event transpired shortly before 6:30 a.m. According to UHP reports, Marcano had pulled over onto the right shoulder of the northbound lanes close to the American Fork Pioneer Crossing exit, engaged in the task of replacing a flat tire.
At the time of the accident, Marcano was adorned in a reflective vest, and his hazard lights were illuminated.
Accompanying Marcano were two female passengers. One of them was transported to a nearby medical facility with injuries deemed non-life-threatening, while the other emerged from the incident unharmed.
The investigation into the matter remains ongoing. It remains uncertain whether the driver involved will face any charges. Sergeant Roden indicated that such determinations will hinge upon the conclusions drawn by the Utah County Attorney’s Office.
