AMERICAN FORK — One woman died and four other people were injured in a car accident Saturday night in American Fork.

The accident occurred around 7:15 p.m. near 200 East and State Street when police say an eastbound car with two male occupants that was traveling at a high speed lost control and crossed into oncoming traffic, according to American Fork Lt. Josh Christensen.

The eastbound car collided with another car with three women, including a 91-year-old woman who died at the hospital after the accident, Christensen said. The other two women, a 66-year-old and a 48-year-old, were taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition and critical but stable condition respectively.

The driver of the eastbound car, 23, suffered minor injuries, while the other man, 29, was in serious but stable condition, Christensen said.

Police are investigating the accident.
