GRANTSVILLE, Utah – One person is dead after a head-on crash in Grantsville on Thursday evening.

The crash happened on SR-112 just after 6 p.m. in Tooele County between mileposts 1 and 2 near Grantsville.

One person died and several others suffered injuries, though their conditions are unknown.

Troopers say the driver of one of the vehicles involved may have been driving under the influence.

Investigators are still working to determine what happened in the crash.
