SALT LAKE CITY — A Cache County man and his 2-year-old son died in a crash Saturday afternoon on Interstate 215 on the west side of Salt Lake City.
Around 2 p.m., the pickup truck they were traveling in crashed on I-215 West near about 1000 South. Witnesses told Utah Highway Patrol troopers that the truck was in the southbound left lane when it suddenly veered across the lanes to the right, went off the side of the freeway, rolled down a steep embankment, then landed in some water at the bottom of a ditch.
The victims were identified Sunday as Travis Weight and his 2-year-old son — who was named Prescott, according to a GoFundMe set up by the boy's mother.
A UHP spokesperson told FOX 13 News that they were both buckled in.
No other vehicles were involved.
