A woman was in critical condition Tuesday after rolling her SUV while driving down Little Cottonwood Canyon.

The accident happened just before 1 a.m. about one mile up the canyon, said Salt Lake County Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Jaroscak. The woman was trapped in the vehicle when emergency crews arrived.

Speed is believed to be a factor, Jaroscak said. Investigators were also looking Tuesday at whether drugs or alcohol played a role, he said.

The woman had a $5,000 warrant out for her arrest, and was arrested in June for prescription-drug fraud, Jaroscak said.
