A 43-year-old Ogden man is dead and his wife was sent to the hospital when their car crashed early Sunday morning on Colby Street in Ogden. Ogden police say the couple’s three children, all under the age of 16, were in the back of the car but escaped without injury.
Police say Jennie Ann Clark was driving west on Colby Street when the car veered across the oncoming lane and smashed into a utility pole. The pole snapped off and the upper part fell through the windshield, landing on Matthew Clark and killing him instantly.
The children were turned over to relatives at the scene and the accident remains under investigation. Charges are expected.
