A five-year old boy died in a one-car freeway accident on Aug. 2, 2004.

Hoby Metz, Utah Highway Patrol Sgt., said the victim was Spencer Flanary age five.

Driver Of the vehicle was his mother, Silvana Flanary.

The accident occurred at 11:26 p.m., said Metz.

"A southbound Chev Suburban carrying a family of six rolled over on I-15 southbound at mile marker 198.5," said Metz.

Flanary, the driver, fell asleep, the vehicle drifted into the median, the driver awoke, and over corrected, coming back onto the roadway and rolling several times.

"All occupants were restrained except for the five-year old boy, who was sleeping on the back seat," said Metz. "As the vehicle rolled, the glass window broke and the boy was ejected."

Metz said the vehicle then rolled on top of the child and killed him instantly.

UHP Trooper Korey Wright was the investigating officer.
