TAYLORSVILLE, Utah, July 1, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — Redwood Road is closed in both directions in Taylorsville after a fatal crash Friday afternoon.
West Jordan Police and Fire and South Salt Lake Police responded at about 2 p.m. to the area of 6670 S. Redwood Road (1700 West).
West Jordan Police officer Scott List said witnesses stated that a white truck and a green passenger car were going northbound on Redwood Road, and at some point the passenger car was ahead of the white truck in the far right lane, went to make a U-turn, and when it was halfway through the turn it was T-boned by the white pickup truck.
The driver of the green car, a 31-year-old female from Millcreek, was killed in the crash. The driver of the white pickup truck, also a 31-year-old female, was taken to Intermountain Medical Center, Murray, in stable condition.
Speed is being investigated as one of the factors that may have contributed to the crash.
