OGDEN, Utah — Authorities say a suicidal 16-year-old girl will face adult murder charges on accusations that she was speeding near 100 miles per hour when she caused a fatal crash that killed two people.
The Layton teenager was charged Friday with murder, failing to stop for an officer and failure to remain at the scene of a fatal crash.
The Associated Press is not naming the girl because she's a minor.
Police said she was headed to meet a friend to take drugs for a suicide attempt when the SUV she was driving slammed into a Hyundai while in a 45 miles-per-hour zone.
The crash killed the driver and passenger in the Hyundai early Thursday. They're identified as 20-year-old Maddison Haan of West Point and 19-year-old Tyler Christianson of Ogden.
