Price, UT (September 27, 2024) – A tragic multi-vehicle crash occurred on September 26, resulting in the deaths of five individuals. The accident took place on US-6 at milepost 235, where a silver SUV was reportedly stopped on Spring Glen Road.
According to a press release from the Utah Department of Public Safety, the SUV attempted to pull out into the designated acceleration lane but overshot it, entering lane number one, which was occupied by a semi-truck pulling doubles. The semi-truck driver attempted to evade the SUV but lost control, veering left into westbound traffic.
The semi-truck subsequently struck a Nissan SUV traveling westbound, causing it to veer off the road into a rock embankment. Simultaneously, an individual riding an ATV on the westbound shoulder was also struck during the collision. Tragically, all four occupants of the Nissan SUV, as well as the ATV rider, were killed in the crash.
The driver of the silver SUV was reported to have sustained minor injuries and was checked out at a local hospital.
