three dead, two critically injured
Three people have died and two are in critical condition following a crash involving a car and a semi-truck in Farr West, Utah. The accident occurred early Wednesday morning on I-15 when the red Nissan Altima carrying five passengers hit a deer while traveling in the left lane. According to Lt. Justin Cheney with UHP, "It appears we had a passenger vehicle hit a deer move to the right-hand lane...[It] didn't have any lights on, I don't know if it was disabled or what - that's still part of our investigation." A white Freightliner semi then collided with the Altima from behind shortly after.
The three individuals who died were all members of the same family but their names have not been released by officials yet. They were identified as "a 70-year-old male and a 64-year-old female, both from Enid Oklahoma and a 17-year-old female from the Marshall Islands." The driver and front seat passenger survived but sustained serious injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.
The Northbound lanes of Interstate 15 at 2700 North were closed due to investigations into the incident which lasted about four hours before being reopened for traffic at around 7 am. The semi-truck driver is cooperating with authorities, and no impairment is suspected as contributing factors in this tragic event.
