MORGAN COUNTY, Utah, April 9, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — Officials have identified a woman who was found dead near her truck Monday morning after she crashed into the Weber River in Morgan County.
The deceased is Andrea Catherine Beck, 38, of Layton, the Utah Highway Patrol said in a news release.
The rollover accident was reported just after 9:15 a.m. Monday to Weber County Dispatch. The vehicle was reportedly upside down in the river, which runs parallel to Interstate 84 near Devil’s Slide.
During the rollover, Beck, the suspected driver, was ejected from the vehicle and was found deceased next to the vehicle in the flowing water.
Investigators believe the crash occurred overnight after the woman allegedly drove off I-84, officials said.
It’s not clear at this early stage what caused the crash.
Devil’s Slide is a geological formation located near the border of Wyoming in northern Weber Canyon, near the community of Croydon in Morgan County. I-84 runs past Devil’s Slide, and the Weber River flows between the formation and the freeway.
Gephardt Daily will have more on this developing story as information becomes available.
