HERRIMAN — An 89-year-old woman died and a 91-year-old man was hospitalized after a crash on Main Street in Herriman Wednesday afternoon. Police said Thursday that a previously approved traffic signal for the intersection has also been expedited.
In a Thursday news release, the Herriman Police Department said officers responded to a 4:30 p.m. call reporting a two-vehicle car crash with injuries at 6400 West and Main Street. The release says the 89-year-old woman was transported by helicopter and the 91-year-old man was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The woman died from her injuries at the hospital.
The cause of the accident was still under investigation, but police said drugs or alcohol were not thought to be factors in the crash.
Herriman police released a second statement on Thursday addressing the concerns about the need for a traffic signal to improve safety at the intersection of 6400 West and Main Street. Police said that Herriman City approved a traffic signal for this location over the summer and it's budgeted for this fiscal year. The project's preparation is currently underway with the city selecting a contractor. The release said that project has been expedited to help minimize any delays.
Further information, including the identity of those involved, was not released.
