A tragic accident in Tooele County early Thursday morning resulted in a fatality, according to the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP).
Authorities reported that just before 7 a.m. on February 6, a white Ford F-150 was stopped at a stop sign on Parachute Lane, preparing to turn left onto southbound SR-179.
At the same time, a dark green 1999 Dodge Caravan was traveling north on SR-179, heading toward I-80. Officials stated that the F-150 proceeded with the turn but failed to yield, crossing into the path of the oncoming Caravan.
The impact occurred when the Caravan struck the driver’s side of the F-150. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, where the Caravan’s driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the F-150 was transported to the hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to their injuries.
Following the crash, authorities temporarily closed the intersection to conduct an investigation.
