A child has died after a fleeing vehicle crashed on the Mountain View Corridor in West Jordan on Saturday morning.

West Jordan police say the crash occurred around 4 a.m., adding that the encounter began much earlier when a South Jordan police officer initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle later fled, with the officer ending the pursuit a short time later.

Then, as the vehicle continued to flee, it collided with another one at the intersection of the Mountain View Corridor and the Old Bingham Highway, West Jordan police say. The fleeing vehicle had two occupants, an adult and a child, police report. The child died at the scene while the adult was taken to a nearby hospital.

The other vehicle had one occupant, an adult driver, who was also transported to a hospital.
