Salt Lake City, UT (November 06, 2021) – A one car accident left a passenger dead and the driver hospitalized on Saturday, November 6th.
Troopers from Salt Lake County said the crash took place in the eastbound lane of State Route 201 at about 1:35 a.m. when a car occupied by two women ran off the roadway and overturned.
The passenger was ejected from the force of the impact and died at the scene. Their identity is being withheld pending family notification.
The driver survived and was taken by ambulance to an area hospital with minor injuries.
Officials have not determined the cause of the crash, but suspect alcohol impairment is a factor.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Wrongful deaths are fatalities that are caused by the wrongful act, maliciousness, or neglect of someone else. Unfortunately, wrongful deaths are an all too common outcome of motor vehicle accidents.

Hundreds of lives are cut short every year from some sort of avoidable incident, like one resulting from an inattentive driver or defective drug.
