A 37-year old Delta woman died on Furner Hill in Juab
County when the car she was driving left the road and rolled
four times.
Dead at the scene was Janet Davis who was ejected from
the vehicle as it rolled.
The accident occurred at 10:30 p.m., Saturday, May 4,
said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Kevin Wright. He said
alcohol is suspected as a contributing cause in the
accident.
"She was traveling at a high rate of speed," said Wright.
"The vehicle left the roadway and rolled traveling 280-feet
from the point where it left the highway to where it came to
rest."
Davis was en route to Delta and was traveling west along
SR 132 when the accident occurred.
Wright said the woman and her boyfriend had been headed
to Utah County but there had been an accident on
Interstate-15 so the couple turned back and stopped in
Nephi.
"She left her boyfriend in Nephi at a motel and headed
back to Delta," said Wright.
Davis was the mother of three children who were staying
with their grandparents for the night. The children's father
had died earlier.
Davis was driving a 2000 Dodge Intrepid which was
totalled in the accident.
