Utah teen dies after falling out of a Jeep just weeks before high school graduation
According to police, Taegan Brown was riding in a Jeep Wrangler with some other friends Friday night around 10 p.m. when he fell out of the vehicle. Police said he was in the front passenger seat, was not wearing a seatbelt and was holding onto a strap as they drove down Park Haven Lane. The strap broke, and Brown was"flipped" out of the Jeep, which had no doors. He hit his head and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, but he later died from his injuries.
Police are investigating the accident and said at this point, they do not believe excessive speed was a factor."He was loved by SO many! He had the BEST outlook on life and had so much ahead of him," read a GoFundMe page raising money to help his family with medical and funeral expenses.
