An 18-year-old woman died Monday night after being ejected from an SUV during a car crash in Mapleton.
A 17-year-old boy drove past a stop sign at the intersection of 1600 North and Main Street and hit the back of the SUV, which spun and hit a curb, ejecting Kathrynn Shaw, according to a news release from Mapleton police.
Shaw suffered head trauma during the 7:30 p.m. crash and was taken to Utah Valley Hospital, where she died during the night, the release stated.
Two other 18-year-old women who were passengers in the SUV were treated at the hospital then released, said Mapleton Police Chief John Jackson. He added that the driver of the car and two boys riding with him suffered minor injuries that were treated at the scene. Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash.
Shaw was a senior at Maple Mountain High School, and was set to graduate this week. Nebo School District and Mapleton Mountain High School are providing counselors for the students.
