Ogden, UT – The Ogden Police Department reported a fatal crash on the evening of March 27 after officers attempted to stop a stolen vehicle in the 2800 block of Quincey Avenue.
Officials said the driver failed to yield, striking a police vehicle before fleeing at high speeds. The suspect vehicle ultimately collided with another car at the intersection of 31st Street and Grant Avenue. The second vehicle was occupied by two adults and six children. An 11-year-old child was ejected during the collision and died, while the other seven occupants sustained injuries ranging from critical to non-life-threatening.
The driver and passenger of the stolen vehicle, both 14-year-old males, were also injured and hospitalized.
The Weber-Metro Crash Reconstruction and Scene Handling (CRASH) Team is investigating the accident, while the Ogden Police Department’s Investigations Bureau and the Weber-Morgan Homicide Task Force are reviewing all related criminal circumstances. Authorities said any charges will be filed once the juvenile suspects no longer require medical care.
Police expressed condolences to the victim’s family and gratitude to first responders, medical personnel, and partner law enforcement agencies. Due to the involvement of juveniles and the ongoing nature of the investigation, officials are withholding identifying information and further details at this time.
