Police say woman hurt 2 in crash while texting
Officers said the woman was driving south on 200 East just after midnight Wednesday.
"She was replying to a text message when she failed to see the light was red," Salt Lake police detective Jeff Bedard said.
Police said a driver going through the intersection at 200 East and 800 South with a green light collided with the woman's sport utility vehicle. The force of the impact sent the SUV spinning into a pedestrian who was waiting to cross the street.
The woman was cited for careless driving, a class C misdemeanor, Bedard said. The other two were hospitalized with serious injuries.
