LAYTON — Three people died and three more were hospitalized after a head-on collision on U.S. 89 Friday afternoon.

Killed were:
Robert M. Oxborrow, 72, Mapleton.
Sally Masservy, 47, West Jordan.
Edith Reid, 90, Lund, Nev.,

A sedan was traveling north on the highway when it crossed into the southbound lanes and collided with another car at approximately 2500 North, according to the Layton Police Department.

Oxborrow, the driver of the sedan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Masservy and Reid, his passengers, died later after being flown by helicopter to LDS and University hospitals, respectively.

Two other passengers, Geraldine Oxborrow, 69, of Mapleton and Barbara Oxborrow Lot, 49, of Springville were taken by ambulance to McKay-Dee Hospital. Geraldine Oxborrow was in fair condition Saturday while Lot remained in critical condition, a nursing supervisor said.

The driver of the other vehicle, William Woolf, 66, West Jordan, was treated at Ogden Regional Medical Center and released Friday.

Police are investigating the accident, including what caused the sedan to cross the roadway's center divide.

U.S. 89 was closed in both directions while emergency personnel tended to the victims. The occupants of the sedan, all of whom are related, had to be extricated from the vehicle by a Layton Fire Department crew, according to the police department.
