Robert Wentworth dies after Sandy car hits pedestrian UT

SANDY, UT, (March 30, 2026) – A 33-year-old man, Robert Wentworth, was killed Monday night after being struck by a vehicle in Sandy, police reported.

According to the Sandy Police Department, the collision occurred at about 10 p.m. near 150 West and 9000 South. Wentworth was hit by a vehicle under circumstances that remain under investigation.

Emergency responders pronounced Wentworth dead at the scene. Authorities confirmed that the driver involved remained at the location following the crash.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Walking remains a common mode of transportation, but recent data from the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) shows that it has become increasingly dangerous, leading to significant loss of life and hardship.

The GHSA attributes the rise in pedestrian fatalities to factors such as speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, and infrastructure challenges that often prioritize vehicles over pedestrians.

According to the GHSA, an estimated 7,148 pedestrians were killed on U.S. roadways in 2024, including 46 in Utah.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and establish negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all potential contributing factors that must be carefully evaluated,” added Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes necessary to determine exactly what occurred. These resources are essential in helping clients pursue compensation for damages or losses following a collision,” Bond said.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is almost always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. The family of Robert Wentworth may be entitled to a wrongful death claim.

“Family members of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and emotional distress following a tragic accident,” Bond added.

An attorney can serve as a compassionate advocate, helping guide a family through the legal process while ensuring their rights are protected.

“Insurance companies often attempt to pressure victims into accepting quick settlements that are far below the true value of a claim,” Bond noted. “An attorney will advocate strongly to ensure fair treatment and proper compensation.”
