ST. GEORGE — A 43-year-old woman died as a result of a rollover crash on Old Dixie Highway 91 southwest of the Shivwits Band of Paiutes Reservation Tuesday afternoon.
Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Graham Hancock confirmed in an email to St. George News the driver “succumbed to their injuries on scene” after the “vehicle left the roadway” and “rolled before coming to rest.”
Dispatchers were called to the scene at approximately 2 p.m. to a rollover near mile marker 8 on Old Dixie Highway 91.
While the crash remains under investigation, Hancock also said a witness, who was driving southbound, said the woman driver passed them but was “unable to maintain the lane while swerving.”
“The witness claimed and evidence shows the vehicle left the roadway and appeared to over correct crossing the roadway exiting on the northbound side of the road,” Hancock said.
Several deputies were on scene to investigate the crash and direct traffic on the two-lane highway. The vehicle that rolled was heavily damaged some 50-plus feet from the roadway.
The highway was closed as a reconstruction team conducted an investigation but has since been reopened.
No further details were available. This is a developing story.
This report is based on statements from court records, police or other responders and may not contain the full scope of findings.
