TAYLORSVILLE — A car struck a wall near Taylorsville City Cemetery, killing the driver and injuring two others just before midnight Saturday.
Sgt. Ryan Carver with TPD said the single-car crash happened when the car left the road, hit the wall, and crashed further into the cemetery at 11:47 p.m. People in a passing car who saw the car crash and roll called police.
The driver was identified as Jasmine Aguila, 27, according to Lt. Aaron Cheshire with Taylorsville Police Department. The two passengers, a man and a woman, were ejected from the car and were taken to a hospital. Aguila was “supposedly in a romantic relationship” with the passengers, Cheshire said, and there was no further update to their injuries as of Monday afternoon.
Cheshire said detectives believe the crash was caused by possible drug or alcohol use. Further, drug paraphernalia suspected of marijuana use was found inside the car.
As of Monday, the damage to the cemetery was unknown.
