Six Year-Old Girl Killed in Spanish Fork Accident
Spanish Fork residents are mourning the loss of Jayden Cartright, a six-year-old who was tragically killed in a Utah pedestrian accident on December 20, 2008. Witnesses say they saw Jayden and her older sister attempting to cross the road on 800 North. As they ran across the street, her sister fell and Jayden continued to run ahead when she was hit by an SUV.
Spanish Fork police Lt. Steve Adams said there have been no citations issued toward the driver, who has complied with all blood testing. Although, police do not believe the 35-year-old woman was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this driver is clearly responsible for this tragic accident. The driver has contacted Jayden’s parents, who harbor no ill feelings toward her.
We join the rest of the community in offering our deepest sympathies for Jayden’s family.
