DRAPER, Utah, Oct. 21, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — A 22-year-old woman was killed Monday morning when she was hit by a car in Draper.
Draper City police officials said the incident occurred in the area of 11500 S. Lone Peak Parkway at approximately 7:20 a.m.

The woman was declared dead at the scene.
I work in one of the near by businesses on Lone Peak Pkwy, and this happened right around the time parents were dropping there kids off at school. I have to say I’m a delivery driver and travel this route at least a dozen times a day and people need to slow down and be more observant of what’s going on. I cant tell you how many times I have parents from that school pull out in front of me assuming I will have time to stop or people who edge out into the road or pull out and slam on there brakes and then flip you the bird. Very inconsiderate drivers and parents, teaching young people about manners on the road. Unfortunately someone paid the price here. It was an accident I get it. But it was also someone’s daughter, someone’s wife, perhaps someone’s mother. Is it really worth it to get to work or get your kids to school a couple seconds/minutes early this cost someone there life.
