Fatal St. George car crash death of Norene Jones, Catherine Gray, and Jeffry Alan Gray.
Officials have disclosed the names of the three individuals who lost their lives in a severe motor vehicle accident on a major highway in St. George. The incident resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, prompting an official update. The Utah Highway Patrol confirmed that the crash occurred on a key road, specifically I-15, with a driver entering the traffic flow incorrectly.
A fatal collision happened on Interstate 15 in St. George, involving a driver who was going against the flow of traffic. This head-on crash claimed the lives of three people and left one individual with serious but non-critical injuries. The Utah Highway Patrol announced on Tuesday that they have identified the victims, providing closure to the community. The identities were released after the event, which took place earlier in the week.
One of the deceased was identified as Norene Jones, an 89-year-old resident of St. George, who was driving in the wrong direction. She entered the southbound lanes from a specific exit, leading to the collision. The other car involved in the accident was driven by Catherine Gray, aged 68 from Washington City, and her passenger, Jeffry Alan Gray, also 68 and from the same area. These details were shared by the authorities to inform the public.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol’s initial report, a woman in her late 80s was responsible for driving southbound in the northbound lanes. This action caused a direct impact with another vehicle, which was carrying four people at the time. The survivors from that second car, described as two young females, were taken to a medical facility with injuries that did not pose an immediate threat to their lives. No further information was given about their recovery.
The incident unfolded on a Sunday and has since been investigated by the highway patrol. The identities were made public to address the situation, highlighting the dangers of such incidents on the road. Authorities continue to review the circumstances to prevent similar events in the future.
