A car crash in Salt Lake City, Utah fatally injures 4-year-old Lila Johanson and critically injures her mother, according to Fox13 Now. Just before 10 p.m. on Wednesday, October 11, authorities say that the child’s mother, Alexa Johanson, was driving westbound in her vehicle on 2700 South near Chadwick Street when she suddenly veered into the eastbound Lanes and struck a tree.
Salt Lake City Police Lt. Dave Cracroft stated that when neighbors heard the crash, they immediately ran to victim’s aid. One of the neighbors was an EMT and another worked in the emergency room at the University of Utah.
Lila was pulled from the vehicle and was given CPR until paramedics arrived. She was rushed to Primary Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The child’s mother was transported to a local hospital with broken shattered bones. Doctors say it will take weeks for her to recover.
