A tragic head-on collision just outside of Eden claimed the life of a 72-year-old woman on Wednesday evening.
The Weber County Sheriff’s Department (WCSD) reported that deputies were dispatched around 7:45 p.m. to the scene of a two-vehicle crash near mile marker three on Highway 158, approximately one mile southwest of town. Upon arrival, officers found two vehicles had collided head-on.
Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the crash, but it involved a 31-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman, both Eden residents. The woman did not survive her injuries, while the condition of the male driver remains unknown.
Officials have not released the victim’s identity pending notification of family members. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
More details will be provided as they become available.
Keelee McCain is a junior at Weber High School. This is her second year on staff, this year as Assistant to the Chief. She does have a life (probably) but she can't think of anything to write in here, so she's probably just going to ramble now. She has an orange cat who she likes better than any human. If you see her being quiet or not sitting on top of a desk, there is something very wrong. In her free time she enjoys harassing her favorite teachers and sleeping. Her life plans include making it through high school and leaving. Happy lifeing.
