TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — A woman had to be rushed to surgery after a crash on 5400 South near Bangerter Highway early Saturday morning.
Taylorsville Police told FOX 13 News that they received a call around 12:40 a.m. of a single-vehicle crash. Upon arrival, they found a car with significant damage and with the driver inside. She was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.
The car had also crashed into a nearby pawn shop, but the building only suffered cosmetic damage.
The crash prompted the closure of the eastbound lanes from 4000 West to Bangerter for a number of hours as investigators processed the scene.
A security camera at a local business captured the vehicle on two cameras: First, it appears the eastbound vehicle suddenly accelerates to a high rate of speed, then a camera on the other side of the building shows sparks coming out from under the car before a cloud of smoke becomes visible near where the crash reportedly occurred.
