Police investigating after juvenile falls out of car in Spanish Fork
SPANISH FORK, Utah (ABC4) — A juvenile sustained serious head trauma after falling out of a car this morning in Spanish Fork.
Just before 9 a.m. this morning, Feb. 23, Spanish Fork police, fire, and EMS were dispatched on reports of an auto-pedestrian accident at 100 North 400 East.

When police arrived at the scene, they learned that five juveniles left Spanish Fork High in a Jeep. They traveled east on Center Street and made a left turn onto 400 East when the front seat passenger opened his door and leaned out of the car.
He grabbed a hold of the handle above the door, but the handle broke and he fell out of the car, sustaining “serious head trauma,” police said.
The driver reportedly told police he thought he felt a bump and “may have driven over his friend,” although hospital staff said there appeared to be no injuries consistent with being run over.
Police said the other juveniles involved are cooperating.
The investigation is ongoing.
