Collision kills 3, injures 3 in Layton
The following correction was
published in the Monday, Nov. 4, 2002 Deseret News: Robert M. Oxborrow,
72, Mapleton, was driving a car that was traveling south on U.S. 89 Friday
when a vehicle traveling north crossed into oncoming traffic and collided
with Oxborrow's car, killing him and two other passengers. A story in
Sunday's Deseret News stated otherwise. Also, Sally Meservy, 47, West
Jordan, was one of three people killed in the accident. Police originally
gave an incorrect spelling of the woman's name.
LAYTON — Three
people died and three more were hospitalized after a head-on collision on
U.S. 89 Friday afternoon. Killed were:
Robert M. Oxborrow, 72, Mapleton.
Sally Masservy, 47, West Jordan.
Edith Reid, 90, Lund, Nev. A sedan was
traveling north on the highway when it crossed into the southbound lanes
and collided with another car at approximately 2500 North, according to
the Layton Police Department. Oxborrow, the driver
of the sedan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Masservy and Reid, his
passengers, died later after being flown by helicopter to LDS and
University hospitals, respectively. Two other
passengers, Geraldine Oxborrow, 69, of Mapleton and Barbara Oxborrow Lot,
49, of Springville were taken by ambulance to McKay-Dee Hospital.
Geraldine Oxborrow was in fair condition Saturday while Lot remained in
critical condition, a nursing supervisor said. The
driver of the other vehicle, William Woolf, 66, West Jordan, was treated
at Ogden Regional Medical Center and released Friday.
Police are investigating the accident, including what caused the
sedan to cross the roadway's center divide. U.S.
89 was closed in both directions while emergency personnel tended to the
victims. The occupants of the sedan, all of whom are related, had to be
extricated from the vehicle by a Layton Fire Department crew, according to
the police department.
