A Layton teenager was traveling nearly 100 mph and attempting to commit suicide when she purposely slammed into the back of another vehicle, killing two strangers, police say.

Marilee Patricia Gardner, 16, was charged as an adult in 2nd District Court Friday with two counts of murder, a first-degree felony; failing to stop at the command of an officer, a third-degree felony; and failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving death, a third-degree felony.

Maddison Haan, 20, of West Point, was killed instantly when the Hyundai Accent she was driving was slammed from behind by an SUV driven by Gardner near the intersection of 3500 West and 6000 South in Roy, according to the charging documents.

So many possible responses. I hope they both died quickly. I'll leave it at that.

She couldn't have slammed into a concrete structure instead?

You'd expect someone who was planning a suicide to think clearly and rationally, even during an adrenaline pumping police chase.

Why waste tax money on a trial and jail. Just take up a collection to buy her a shotgun...

Why not a neat and clean handgun. No need to involve innocent bystanders.

But innocent until proven guilty.

If proven guilty... I'd be ok with 20 years in prison, with pictures of her victims in her cell.

Very tragic. A bridge would have been a better choice. Or a big truck.

We had a guy try something like that in our town. He went head-on into another vehicle on a 65 MPH highway. The other vehicle was a big truck that had managed to stop and the truck driver was uninjured. The suicidal driver was driving a big body-on-frame Cadillac and he survived and was convicted, amongst other things, of attempted murder of the truck driver and given a hefty prison sentence.
