Accident Report

June 13, 2026, two people were injured following a car accident at around 11:32 p.m. along East Orem Drive.

Authorities said that the accident happened just off the corner of the Orem Drive and Mykawa Road intersection.

It appears that a 24-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man, and a minor were in a Honda Accord going eastbound along Orem Drive. A Chevy Trax was going westbound, reportedly on the wrong side of the road. As a result, the vehicles collided.

The woman driving the Honda and the man riding passenger sustained serious injuries. Authorities did not confirm any other injuries. Right now, a specific cause for the accident remains unconfirmed.

How Did This Accident Occur?

Just to be clear, I don’t have more evidence about this crash than what preliminary reports have given. However, anytime I see a crash involving a driver on the wrong side of the road, it almost always ends up involving alcohol. That’s especially true late at night when drivers are likely to be driving to and from bars, restaurants, and other establishments. Did authorities look into that possibility? Did they consider the possibility that the driver may have been over-served? After all, it’s not easy to get on the wrong side of the road, which is why it usually turns out the driver was extremely intoxicated. Of course, this could be that rare exception where some other factors were going on. It’s up to the evidence to say what happened here. Hopefully the crash got enough attention to tell the whole story so those affected by the crash had a clear path forward toward a resolution.
