(KSL News) A 19-year-old woman has died following a head-on collision that sent her to the hospital in critical condition last night.
Kristy L. Bateman was driving south on Main Street in Centerville when a vehicle traveling north crossed the center line near the intersection with Lund Lane and collided with her vehicle.
It was originally believed that the driver of the northbound vehicle had been attempting a U-turn when the accident happened. However, police now say that is not the case.
