Narrative
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, UT – A woman suffered critical injuries last Wednesday in Cottonwood Heights in a multi-vehicle crash caused by a negligent driver.
The incident happened around 8:45 p.m. on the northbound side of South Highland Drive near the I-215 overpass, which is east of Wheeler Historic Farm and west of Old Mill Golf Course.
Police say that the driver of a white pickup truck lost control of his northbound vehicle while bending down to retrieve a fallen water bottle. The truck travelled into the southbound lane, crashed into two southbound vehicles, and ultimately landed on top of a red sedan.
The female driver of the red sedan sustained critical injuries when her vehicle became pinned by the pickup truck. Crews worked for an hour to extricate her from the wreckage.
Police arrested the driver of the truck on a charge of negligently operating a vehicle resulting in serious injury. He sustained only minor injuries in the accident.
