A teenage girl was in critical condition Wednesday after the car she was driving collided with a dump truck near Fremont High School, where she is a student.
Weber County Sheriff's Sgt. Matt Jensen said the 18-year-old was attempting to turn onto northbound 4700 West at 2550 South when she was struck by the southbound truck about 7:20 a.m.
"There was extensive damage to the car and she had to be extricated [by first responders]. She was flown [by medical helicopter] to McKay-Dee Hospital with a broken femur, broken ribs and internal bleeding."
The victim remained in critical condition Wednesday afternoon, but Jensen said doctors expected her to recover.
The cause of the accident remained under investigation.
The driver of the truck was uninjured.
