SALT LAKE CITY — Police say a 62-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle crash late Sunday in Salt Lake City, and officers are investigating whether a medical episode caused the crash.

The crash occurred at 11:25 p.m. Sunday near 900 E. Blaine Avenue when the man's vehicle struck an unoccupied parked car, according to a press release from the Salt Lake City Police Department. Police arrived at the scene and found the man dead.
