CACHE COUNTY, Utah, Aug. 13, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — Officials have identified a Wellsville woman found deceased in a submerged car Wednesday evening.
Haley Bury, 18, was the only occupant of the car, said a news release from Cache County Sheriff’s Office Thursday afternoon.
First responders from the Cache County Sheriff’s Office and the Utah Highway Patrol were dispatched to 2600 West 1800 South about 7:50 p.m. When they arrived, they found the passenger car upside-down in a marshy pond located a couple miles south and west of Logan.
A man was in the area checking on his livestock when he noticed the underside of the vehicle protruding from the pond, the news release said.
Recovery crews used a backhoe to pull the car from the water.
“While this appears to be an accident there is still an active investigation being conducted by the combined efforts of the Cache County Sheriff’s Office and the Utah Highway Patrol,” the news release said.
The following is a statement from the family:
“It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the tragic loss of our beautiful Haley Nichole Bury, who was killed in a rollover auto accident yesterday evening in Cache Valley. Haley was a loving daughter, sister, cousin, niece and granddaughter. We express our appreciation for the support of our local law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, friends, and neighbors.
“Although we will miss her shining light, our strong belief in eternal families gives us great comfort as we grieve Haley’s passing. We will announce funeral arrangements at a later date.”
Gephardt Daily will update the story as new details are released.
My thoughts, prayers and virtual hugs to the family and friends of Haley Bury! May your faith in the eternalness of family remain strong! And may you continue to be comforted by God and Jesus at this trying time! Amen.
