According to police, the 21-year-old driver said that she didn’t see the girl before she hit her. Utah Major Accident officials are investigating the cause of the crash and the county attorney will then determine if charges will be filed.

I wish the very best to this young lady as she recovers. My thoughts and prayers are also with the family of this young girl as they struggle with her during this difficult time.

Utah pedestrian accidents often cause serious injury, as was the case in this accident. Although details of the accident continue to be investigated, I would recommend that the parents of this young lady contact an experienced Utah personal injury lawyer who will help them take care of the legal aspects as they help their daughter recover. The victim will most likely have a claim against the insurance of driver, as Utah state law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
