A Mona man has died as the result of a single-car accident which occurred on Sunday, Sept. 14, on I-15 near the Utah/Juab County border.

Ryan Kay, 15, was southbound in the vehicle, a Volkswagen Jetta, at 4:30 p.m. when the accident occurred.

Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Kelly Oaks reported that Kay was taken by Life Flight from the scene to LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City in critical condition.

Kay later died at the facility of injuries sustained in the accident.

UHP dispatcher at the Salt Lake City headquarters of the Highway Patrol said the accident was a single car rollover but a reason for the accident was not listed and Oaks was at a two-week training session so was unavailable for comment.

There were four other individuals in the car at the time of the accident. No other critical injuries were reported
