CEDAR CITY - Two victims are still in the hospital after an accident between their van and a garbage truck Monday at the intersection of 3000 North and Minersville Highway killed one and injured four. Van driver Violet Jessop is in serious condition, moved up from critical condition, said Jennifer Barrett with Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, where Jessop was transported after the accident. Sunderlee Stubbs, 11, is still in critical condition after being airlifted to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City on Monday, said Kate Crawford with the children's hospital on Friday. Nine-month-old Angelee Stubbs died in the accident. Two boys, both two-years-old, were released from Valley View Medical Center in Cedar City on Tuesday after treatment. Their names have not been released. Cedar City Police Public Information Officer, Sgt. JR Robinson, said investigators are going to reconstruct the accident to determine how it happened. Robinson said he has read through witness statements and has an idea of why the accident occurred, but won't confirm it until after the reconstruction. Gateway Preparatory Academy, the school Stubbs attends in Enoch, has set up an account at Wells Fargo named the Stubbs Family Donation Account, where the public can donate to the help the family with expenses, according to a letter from GPA Principal Rob Lee. The GPA staff also sent a list of items the Stubbs family needs while staying with another student's family. These items include healthy snacks, diapers and wipes, laundry soap and dryer sheets, meat, non-perishable food items, canned food items and appropriate school clothing in size six or eight for boys. GPA is also holding a funeral celebration for Angelee Stubbs Dec. 12 at 11 a.m. at the school, which is open to the public as well. | ||
