Farr West, UT (November 4, 2024) – A tragic head-on collision occurred early Monday morning on Highway 126, resulting in the death of one driver. The accident took place around 4:30 a.m. near the intersection of 2000 West and 1100 North.
According to Trooper Leonardo Flores with the Utah Highway Patrol, a Ford Fusion was traveling north on 2000 West when it drifted into the southbound lanes. The Ford then collided head-on with an oncoming Subaru Outback. Reports indicate that there was only one occupant in each vehicle at the time of the crash. The driver of the Subaru sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, the driver of the Ford was not wearing a seatbelt during the collision and suffered life-threatening injuries. They were also taken to the hospital but later succumbed to those injuries. As of now, neither driver has been identified by authorities.
The Utah Highway Patrol has initiated a preliminary investigation into the incident, revealing that impairment may have been a contributing factor to the crash.
