TAYLORSVILLE — A car crashed into a wall near a cemetery in Taylorsville just before midnight Saturday, killing the driver and injuring two others.

Sergeant. Ryan Carver of the Taylorsville Police Department said the single-car accident occurred when the car left the road, hit the wall and continued crashing into the cemetery at 11:47 p.m. The two passengers, a man and a woman, were ejected from the car but were taken to a hospital, while the driver was killed.

People in a passing car who saw the accident called police. While the investigation is ongoing, police do not yet know what caused the accident.
