One Dead in Crash on I-70 Near Richfield

A fatal crash occurred Wednesday evening in Sevier County, claiming the life of one person, according to the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP).

The incident happened around 6:41 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 70 near mile marker 45 — approximately 15 miles north of Richfield. UHP officials say a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe veered off the roadway onto the shoulder before rolling multiple times.

During the rollover, the driver was ejected from the vehicle. Emergency responders arrived quickly but confirmed the individual was already deceased at the scene. The identity of the driver has not been released, pending family notification.

While a drone was briefly used during the investigation, UHP noted that traffic was only temporarily halted and no lanes were officially closed.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.

She does have a life (probably) but she can't think of anything to write in here, so she's probably just going to ramble now. She has an orange cat who she likes better than any human.

Her life plans include making it through high school and leaving. Happy lifeing.
