SANDY, Utah, April 25, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — A woman was taken into custody Friday night after driving into two properties, bringing down a carport, and then leaving the scene.
Sgt. Clayton Swensen, with the Sandy Police Department, said the crash occurred shortly before 10 p.m. at 10222 and 10232 S. 360 East.
“It was a hit-and-run. The driver hit two different properties, and at one the carport collapsed,” Swensen told Gephardt Daily.
The woman, about 30 years old, was the only person in the vehicle.

“There was significant damage to the carport and a couple vehicles,” he said.
The vehicle the woman was driving was not stolen. The incident is under investigation, and Swensen said officials will be looking into whether impairment and/or speed were factors in the crash.
