A tragic accident on Tuesday claimed the life of Scarleth Ramnarine, a 54-year-old resident of West Jordan, during a head-on collision on state Route 96 near Scofield Reservoir. The collision occurred shortly before 2 p.m. when a semitruck traveling east collided with a pickup truck that lost control on icy roads and veered into oncoming traffic.
