PRICE, Utah — One person is dead after a crash between a train and a vehicle in eastern Utah.

The Carbon County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened just after 4 p.m. at the intersection of the railroad and Rays Road, which is just north of U.S. Highway 6/191.

The vehicle was hit by a BNSF Railway freight train. Officials in a later update said it appeared the car was stopped on the tracks, and the driver didn't hear the train coming. It's also possible he was stuck on the tracks.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. He was later identified as 73-year-old Walter Dickerson, from the town of East Carbon.
