Ashley Hayes Reporting Three young men -- all minors -- have been airlifted to Utah Valley and LDS Hospitals. They were involved in a serious car accident overnight in Sandy.
Two of the three men are in critical condition at LDS Hospital. The other is in stable condition at Utah Valley Hospital.
Police say the car they were in was speeding around a curve near 111th South and 2125 East when the driver lost control. They suspect the car, a Saab sedan, hit rocks and a mailbox, went airborne and flipped.
They don't know how many times the car rolled. They brought in a crime scene analyst and an accident reconstructionist to assess what happened.
Lt. Craig Watson, Sandy Police Dept: "I've been to a lot of accidents in the 30 years I've been on the police department, and this is a pretty bad accident."
The car crashed around 1:00 am. The commotion woke up residents. They say speed has been a problem on their road, and a similar accident occured a little more than a year ago.
Sandy Police have been pulling over speeders in the area, though they say that's usually during high traffic hours, not in the middle of the night.
