KEARNS — A woman in her 50s was hospitalized in critical condition Monday after a hit-and-run accident in Kearns.
The accident occurred at 5400 S. 4330 West around 2:30 p.m. when the woman hit a car while leaving a Rancho Market grocery store and started driving east on 5400 South before making a U-turn and driving west in the eastbound lanes, said Unified Police Sgt. Melody Cutler.
Her vehicle then hit a large pickup truck head-on. "We don't know why this happened," Cutler said.
Cutler added that the wrong-way driver was in critical condition and the crash is being investigated as a suspected DUI.
The driver of the pickup truck suffered minor injuries.
