In a tragic incident on Sunday, a 68-year-old man lost his life after his vehicle crashed through the fence of an auto parts store in Mt. Pleasant.

Officials noted that the crash occurred at a low speed—insufficient to typically cause a fatality—suggesting that a medical emergency may have played a role in the incident. Early investigations point to a possible health issue as the trigger behind the seemingly minor collision.

The Utah Highway Patrol is currently looking into the case, with no signs of foul play detected.
