WEST JORDAN — A 66-year-old woman died in a crash in West Jordan Tuesday night.

West Jordan police officer Aleya Mason said the crash happened about 8:38 p.m. near 6600 S. Redwood Road.

The woman, who was identified by police on Wednesday as Lisa McGeary, was exiting the Memorial Redwood Mortuary and Cemetery parking lot when her car was struck by a driver in another vehicle who was traveling south on Redwood Road.

Mason said McGeary was transported to a local hospital in critical condition but succumbed to her injuries.

Mason said the vehicle that struck McGeary had at least three occupants inside, who all sustained minor injuries.

"Investigators are assessing whether impairment was a contributing factor," Mason said.

According to an obituary, a viewing for McGeary's mother was being held at the mortuary that she was leaving Tuesday evening between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

The cause of the crash and any additional circumstances remain under investigation, Mason said.
