LINDON, Utah — An 18-year-old man from Lehi died due to injuries he suffered in a crash in Lindon Wednesday night.

According to a press release from the Lindon Police Department, the crash occurred around 7:45 p.m. at the intersection of 700 North and Geneva Road.

A black Nissan passenger car attempted to turn left from 700 North to Geneva Road, placing the vehicle in the path of a westbound Dodge pickup truck. The driver of the truck was not able to stop and the vehicles collided.
