When I came into my office this morning, I read that a 19 year old woman from Provo, Utah died early this morning in an apparent one-car crash near Sugar City, Idaho.

Idaho State Police are saying that Kristan R. Lusvardi, driving alone around 12:30am was traveling eastbound on U.S Highway 20 just north of Sugar City. For some reason, Lusvardi’s car appears to have drifted across the center median and all the way across the oncoming westbound lanes, finally crashing through a fence and into a ditch.

Various reports suggest Lusvardi was still alive when first-responders came to her aid, but unfortunately she did not survive the life-flight to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the crash, but they are suggesting alcohol or drugs may have been involved, and that Lusvardi was sadly not wearing a seat belt.

I can only imagine that with a young lady driving alone, late at night a long way from home, fatigue may have also been a factor in this tragic accident. My condolences go out to Kristan Lusvardi’s family and loved ones.

Please folks, be careful out on the road. Wear your seatbelt. Don’t drink and drive. Be safe.
