A 24-year-old mother has died after she was thrown out of her SUV during a tragic rollover crash.
On Wednesday around 2:40 p.m., Utah mother Maikel A. Enoch was ejected out of a white Mercedes SUV during a tragic crash on the I-15 highway and I-80 connecting ramp in Salt Lake City. According to People, Enoch was merging from the I-15’s far left lane and tried to exit onto the I-80 ramp. While crossing the lanes, Enoch “lost control” of the vehicle and it ended up rolling over “at least twice.”
Her body was thrown out of the sunroof and “came to rest after falling roughly 30 feet from the raised freeway structure,” according to police. Unfortunately, her injuries were so severe that she died shortly after the incident. Driving along with her were two children and a male passenger. A press release states that the two children were “restrained by child restraints in the back seat” during the crash. The children were immediately taken to the hospital, but it appeared that they did not sustain any injuries.
Enoch is the mother of a 2 1/2-year-old daughter, London, and a son, Kajai. Kajai turns one this Saturday, the outlet reports. She enjoyed being a mother to her babies and being around family,” the page reads. “Her smile and laugh brightened the room and the day.” A GoFundMe has been set up for the mother and her family.
“My Grandson Trevon Goins tragically lost his sister and best friend in a horrible car accident yesterday. Please do what you can,” wrote a family member on Facebook. “Even if just to share this. She was truly my ‘Queen Kel’ granddaughter. Love her more than words.”
One of Enoch’s friends wrote, “Can’t believe this!! Ima gonna miss you so so much Maikel!!! I love you girl!! & thank you for being a real one & all the beautiful memories we got to share together. Rest in heaven beautiful! Fly high babygirl!”
Prayers up to the Enoch family.
