Fatal Car Accident in Summit County, Utah | Wrongful Death
Date: September 19, 2009
Location: US Highway 40 in Summit County
Type: Utah fatal car wreck, Utah car accident
A deadly car accident claimed the lives of a young engaged couple this weekend in Summit County. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, a 19-year-old woman had just dropped off her 2-year-old son at the baby sitter’s, and was driving to work with her 21-year-old fiancé. Near the interchange at Interstate 80, the vehicle swerved off the road, spun out, and crossed the median. The couple smashed into an eastbound Jeep Cherokee. Both the woman, who was seven month pregnant, and her fiancé were killed in the accident. The driver of the jeep, 66, and his son, 29, were taken to University Hospital with serious injuries. Troopers do not know why the vehicle spun out of control, but do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors. We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of those involved in this tragic accident.
