Driver is arrested after head-on crash
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A Cedar Hills man was arrested Sunday after police say he caused a head-on collision while intoxicated.
The accident left an Eagle Mountain woman, 45, in "extremely critical condition," according to Saratoga Springs Police Cpl. Aaron Rosen.
Police said a pickup truck driven by Shawn Stratton, 35, drifted across the center median of Cedar Fort Road (state Route 73) at 800 West, "nudged" one vehicle and then struck the woman's car head-on about 3:45 p.m.
She was flown by helicopter to an area hospital, and her 8-year-old son was transported by ambulance.
Stratton was treated for minor injuries and booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of driving under the influence and unsafe lane travel.
