Knolls, UT (November 09, 2021) – Police have released the name of the woman who died on Sunday, November 7th after a fatal rollover car accident on I-80 in Tooele County.
The Utah Highway Patrol has identified the woman as 64-year-old Cynthia R. Kehn, a resident of Hyde Park.
At about 6:50 a.m., a vehicle was traveling westbound along Interstate 80 just outside of Knolls when it veered off the roadway. The driver overcorrected, causing the vehicle to overturn.
Three people were in the car at the time.
Kehn was ejected and airlifted to the University of Utah Hospital with injuries initially believed to be non-life-threatening. Sadly, she passed away at about 4:00 p.m.
The other vehicle occupants sustained non-critical injuries.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim, Mrs. Cynthia R. Kehn, at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
Fatal Car Accidents in Utah
In 2015, 276 people died in Utah car accidents; the highest rate of crash-related fatalities in the state in the last seven years. According to a representative from the Utah Highway Patrol, 93% of those deaths were caused by human error.
While driving regulations and laws in every state exist for the single purpose of preventing car accidents and the loss of life, it is clear that not enough is being done. Especially when you consider that Utah’s rate of fatal car accidents has risen by more than 25% since its all-time low in 2012.
Although some of these fatal accidents can be attributed to an overall increase in travel, most of the state’s deadly crashes happen because drivers refuse to heed the state’s warnings about safe driving. Offenses ranging from not being properly restrained while the vehicle is moving, to driving while intoxicated, Utah residents seem absolutely determined to go against common sense and the law.
