A Utah County woman is suing various members of her LDS Church ward to help cover medical bills that are piling up from a 2005 accident that happened during a church activity. Documents filed in 3rd District Court on Thursday state that the woman, who was 13 at the time of the accident, was participating on a caroling trip with members of the Sunset Hills 1st Ward, in American Fork, when her ankle was run over by the trailer everyone was riding on during the activity.
The woman alleges that the organizer of the activity had "hooked up his motorcycle trailer to his truck and allowed at least 14 young girls to ride illegally on the trailer," court documents state.
