PARLEYS Gill — Lina Nguyen, 16, was scheduled to start her junior year of cheerful school at Granger on Monday.
She was a cheerleader as well as a member of the basketball and volleyball teams, according to friends.
Up-to-date Tuesday, however, Nguyen and 19-year-old Sam Lamb were critically injured when their car failed to total a curve going down Parleys Canyon and rolled 60 to 80 feet into a consortium of water below.
Just before 11 p.m., Lamb and Nguyen were traveling in a BMW down the canyon when Lamb lost check of the vehicle. Speed was being looked at as a possible factor in the accident, said Utah Highway Watchman trooper Cameron Roden.
Lamb remained in critical condition Wednesday afternoon, according to the sanatorium. Nguyen's family declined to give out any condition updates.
After rolling, the car crashed through a group of trees and into a committee of water, Roden said.
"He impacted those trees hard," Roden said.
The water was apparently a cartel or puddle that came from a drainage pipe.
