And another pretty bad accident in the Utah County stretch of freeway. This one involved two cars and both rolled over. Both drivers were ejected and taken to hospitals immediately. This accident was due to reckless driving. Here is the story: Double Rollover Accident 9/3/10.

Butch and I were driving up towards Salt Lake at this time and got stuck in the resulting traffic from this accident. It was around 5 pm when we passed by and the BMW SUV was already on a tow truck but really smashed in and the Trailblazer was completely unrecognizable and off the road! They were picking up the Trailblazer by crane as we passed by.

As of yet, this accident hasn’t been fatal but the drivers aren’t clear yet. I guess one driver had surgery tonight. Again, please slow down people!!

AND A THIRD fatal accident on our local freeway here in Utah within THREE DAYS. (The second accident).This one was in Provo and they directed the entire freeway traffic off and through the cities of Orem and Provo until the freeway was opened again. All lanes were blocked at the scene. This is madness! I was traveling in Orem, just about to get on the freeway going Southbound but the lanes were blocked by police. So then I noticed it was empty and all the traffic was coming off the freeway and into the roads I was driving on. CRAZY traffic!! I eventually went the ‘back way’ through town to get back to Springville. I wanted to rubberneck though to see if I could see anything from the accident. I drove through Provo on the roads just beneath the freeway overpasses to see any glimpse of it but didn’t catch anything. I would have snapped a pic and posted it on here for you guys to see. Sorry.

Anyway, possible drugs/alcohol involved. The lady who caused the accident was arrested with a DUI. And one 71-year old man died as a result of this madness. Here is the full story: Provo Accident 9/2/10. And here is another version of this same accident: Daily Herald Provo Accident.

Again, PLEASE drive safely people!! Your destination will still be there when you arrive, you don’t need to speed! These construction barriers and lane changes are what I think is causing all this chaos, so please slow down for everyone’s safety. Thank you.

Apparently there was another fatal accident in Utah County. This one happened in the morning hours and more than one person died as a result. Here is the story: Santaquin Accident 9/2/10.

Provo residents (a woman and her 2 children) died from this accident. From the story: “A sport utility vehicle traveling north in the inside travel lane went to the right, then began to spin back left toward the median. Police say the vehicle rolled through the median and across southbound lanes down to the frontage road.”

Wow. Please drive safely! This is the second accident in Utah County this week!

My boyfriend was driving to work this morning between 6 and 6:30 AM and got stuck in traffic from a fatal accident. It must have happened merely minutes/seconds before he arrived in the area. KSL has a video that you can watch here:

Apparently, there were 3 vehicles involved, 1 semitrailer and 2 cars, crashed on Northbound I-15.

From the KSL article: “A semitrailer and two passenger vehicles crashed just as they started crossing the overpass near the 1600 North on-ramp above Geneva Road on the Orem-Lindon border.

“One of the passenger vehicles, a white full-sized van, lost control and rolled over the right-hand side jersey barrier,” said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Todd Johnson. “That van landed below on the west edge of Geneva Road on its top, killing the driver, who is the only occupant, a 47-year-old male.’”

Reminder to everyone out on the roads…Please be careful and mindful of other drivers! This could have happened to anyone. Construction is going on with our freeway and the on-ramps are shortened quite a bit to get onto the freeways. Drivers who are already on the freeway should have slower speeds so that other drivers can safely get onto the freeway from those on-ramps. My boyfriend drives truck with a double trailer behind it and I don’t want to see him get involved in any accidents, or other people around him. Please drive safe!

I hear that Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, age 30, have finalized their divorce.

Well GOOD FOR YOU, ELIN!!!

C’mon, just because you are a famous sports celebrity does NOT mean you can have your pick of women everywhere and anywhere!! Especially while you have a wife and FAMILY back home!

Excerpt from Yahoo News: “While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us,” they said in the statement. “The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern.”

I hope they will do what’s best for their children.
