MILLARD COUNTY, Utah -- A 25-year-old Bremerton woman was killed in a rollover accident in Utah on Tuesday.

According to the Utah Highway Patrol in Millard County, Megan Roscoe was thrown from a truck that rolled after drifting into the opposing lane and then over-correcting. The crash occurred near the town of Hinkley, in central Utah. Troopers reported that she was wearing a seat belt, but that she had it on incorrectly. The driver of the vehicle, Donald B. Rivers, 26, was treated for injuries and released from a hospital.

Troopers said speed was not a factor in the crash.

A friend of Roscoe's said she was on tour with the Bremerton-based band Y.I.A., which had been playing shows through California, Colorado and Utah this summer. Roscoe was not a member of the band, but helped manage and coordinate the tour.

Roscoe was a member of the Bremerton group Artists for Freedom and Unity, which hosts concerts and supports local music. She was well-known among musicians and fans in the area, said Annie Hanks, formerly of Bremerton.

"A lot of kids 25 and under looked up to her," Hanks said.

Hanks said that Roscoe attended Renaissance High School and had worked at Zumiez at the Kitsap Mall.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.
