Injuries

SOUTH OGDEN — One man was taken to the hospital after two vehicles collided Friday morning at 4000 S. Riverdale Road.

South Ogden police say a 2001 Dodge Durango driven by a 41-year-old man was traveling east from Wall Avenue to 4000 South when it struck a 1989 Ford Taurus driven by a 24-year-old man and headed north on Riverdale Road.

The vehicles collided in the intersection, forcing both vehicles to the northeast corner of the intersection.

The impact forced the driver of the Taurus into the front passenger side.

OGDEN — For some local children, slips and falls on ice are an opportunity, not a problem. In Northern Utah’s freezing rain glaze, kids are ice-skating their way through this week of wild weather.

“We ice-skated on the driveway today,” said 10-year-old Madelyn Murdock. Madelyn, her sister Charlotte and brother Riggs said the drive to and from school was a little scary, but once they got home, they took advantage of their own personal ice rink.

Adults in the Top of Utah weren’t having as much fun, however. Not only were dispatchers busy calling ambulances out to the scene of an accident, they were dealing with their own.

Icy roads and foggy conditions played havoc with Friday-morning commuters, including a school bus in Box Elder County.

Weber and Davis school districts postponed starting schools for two hours to give maintenance crews time to put salt and sand on parking lots and sidewalks, officials said.

At 8:41 a.m. Friday, a school bus with 30 students aboard en route to Century Elementary School was involved in a head-on collision with a 2-ton farm truck at 6200 W. 2400 North, just west of Corinne, said Box Elder Sheriff Chief Deputy Kevin Potter.

Box Elder Superintendent Ron Wolff said three elementary-age children were taken to local hospitals to be treated for minor injuries.

OGDEN — A Davis County man was critically injured Saturday afternoon when his pickup truck rolled off the road at the 31st Street off-ramp of Interstate 15.

Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Bryce Kohler said there was an attempt-to-locate from Davis County on the red pickup truck. Witnesses said the truck could not maintain its lane of travel and was swerving from lane to lane, Kohler said.

OGDEN — Police are investigating whether alcohol may have played a factor when a laundry service semitrailer overturned at Hinckley Drive and Pennsylvania Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Friday.

PERRY — Two of the five boys burned in a gasoline fire last week in Perry remained hospitalized Sunday.

CLEARFIELD — Three people were hurt in a two-vehicle crash in Clearfield about 5 p.m. Friday.

The accident occurred on the 300 North overpass, said Clearfield Officer Jeromy Jackson.

A Chevrolet Blazer was heading west on 300 North when the driver fell asleep after taking Ambien, crossed into the eastbound lane and struck an eastbound Honda Accord, Jackson said.
