Riverton Car Accident Leaves Woman in Critical Condition
Posted By Ron Kramer on March 9, 2010
A crash involving multiple vehicles left one woman in critical condition and injured 4 others. This accident happened in Riverton, Utah at 12600 south 2700 West near Riverton High School. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, a driver of a Suburban was attempting to make a left-hand turn onto 12600 South when it collided with a westbound Jeep. The suburban then hit another car which was stopped at a red light. The accident happened at around 7:20 a.m. on Tuesday, March 9, 2010. The 16-year-old passenger of the Suburban either fell or was ejected during the collision. She was life flighted to the hospital in critical condition. The four people riding in the Jeep also suffered injuries and were transported to the hospital.
I offer my thoughts and prayers to the young teenager in critical condition. I hope that she makes a speedy recovery. I wish the very best to all those involved as it appears all parties were injured.
Police have not yet issued any citations but it appears fault lies with the driver of the Suburban attempting to make the left turn. The girl riding as the passenger has a claim against the insurance of the Suburban. Policy limits on the Suburban’s policy may not be sufficient to cover the medical bills of all the injured parties. If the policy limits are not sufficient, the injured will be able to tap into the under- insured motorist policy of the Jeep or their individual auto insurance.
