We reported a couple days ago on the horrific crash between a Chevy truck and a Jeeps Cherokee that took the lives of two adults and one child in Box Elder County, Utah. According to KSL news, the adults have been identified as Curtis Andersen and Tami Andersen. The 9-year old child, Hannah Roach, who perished in the crash on December 5, 2008, was not actually theirs, but was a friend of their children, who happened to be along for the ride. The Andersen’s 5-year old, Kylie Andersen, thankfully, is expected to make a full recovery. The group had been to the Festival of Trees and were returning through Sardine Canyon when the crash occurred.
Family members of the Andersen’s are stepping in to help pick up the pieces following this tragic crash. The family asks those wishing to express condolences to do so by donating money to a fund that has been set up for the Andersen children at the USU Community Credit Union under the names Curtis and Tami Andersen. The credit union phone: (435) 753-4080.
Troopers on the scene are now saying that the driver of the pickup, an 18-year old student at Utah State University, may have fallen asleep, contributing to this fatal car accident. Criminal charges against him are being considered.
