An Iowa National Guard soldier who was hit by a car May 22nd in Iowa City has passed away from his injuries.
KCRG TV reports that The Iowa National Guard confirmed SFC Corey Hite was hit by a car on May 22nd in Iowa City as he was out for a jog. A GoFundMe for his family says he suffered life-threatening injuries, including brain swelling, multiple skull fractures, a broken pelvis, and holes in his lung and kidney, and another post said Hite was three weeks from retirement when the crash happened. An update on his Caring Bridge page said Hite passed away on Sunday.
To date, Iowa City Police have not confirmed Hite’s identity nor that of the driver, saying their investigation into the incident is ongoing. They told TV9 only that a pedestrian was hit by a car just after 4pm on May 22nd just west of Iowa City West High School and suffered serious injuries.
