Lehi, UT (June 1, 2025) – A 14-year-old girl sustained significant injuries after being hit by a car late Friday night, May 30, near the Lehi Round-Up Rodeo Grounds. The crash happened around 11:13 p.m. at the intersection of 500 West and 100 North as children were leaving a dance event.
According to witnesses, the girl was alone when she crossed the street and was struck by a southbound vehicle. Ed Barney, a nearby resident, reported hearing a loud crash followed by screams and initially believed it was a collision between two cars before realizing a person had been hit.
Witnesses and nearby officers quickly rushed to provide first aid until paramedics arrived. The teen was transported to a local hospital with significant head trauma. No additional details about her current condition have been released, and police continue to investigate the circumstances of the crash.
We extend our hopes for a full and timely recovery to the young girl injured in this incident.
Car Accidents in Utah
Pedestrian accidents remain a pressing issue across Utah, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic during public events. Hundreds of pedestrians are injured every year statewide, and many incidents occur at night when visibility is reduced.
Awareness of pedestrian safety can help prevent such unfortunate accidents:
- Cross at Designated Areas: Using marked crosswalks ensures that pedestrians are visible and anticipated by drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents.
- Increase Visibility: At night, pedestrians should wear bright or reflective clothing to help drivers see them from a greater distance, particularly in poorly lit areas.
- Stay Vigilant: Children and teenagers are encouraged to stay alert and cautious when crossing streets, particularly after events where crowds can cause distractions.
- Driver Awareness: Drivers must exercise extra caution in event areas and near schools, where pedestrian activity is heavier. Slowing down and being prepared to stop can save lives.
