SALT LAKE CITY — A 40-year-old woman was hospitalized in critical condition Thursday night after a three-car accident.
The woman was traveling east on 800 South around 9:30 p.m. when she was struck by a Toyota 4-Runner that was southbound on 1100 East, according to Salt Lake City police detective Cary Wichmann. The driver of the 4-Runner apparently failed to stop at a stop sign at that intersection and crossed over a large, raised median before striking the woman's vehicle.
After colliding with the woman's Mini Cooper, the 4-Runner rolled and ultimately hit a Mercedes heading North on 1100 East, Wichmann said.
The Mercedes was stopped at a stop sign at the time and its two occupants were uninjured in the crash, as was the driver of the 4-Runner and his 9-year-old passenger.
Wichmann said the woman driving the Mini Cooper was seriously injured and transported to an area hospital in critical condition.
It was not immediately clear Friday whether citations had been issued in the crash, which remains under investigation.
