WASATCH COUNTY, Utah — Two people are dead after a truck and passenger vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 40 near Fruitland on Friday.
Utah Highway Patrol tells FOX 13 News the crash occurred around 4:39 p.m. when a gray Dodge Ram pickup truck heading east crossed into the westbound lanes, striking a black Honda Accord.
The driver of the pickup truck, 37-year-old Poul Larsen, and the passenger of the Honda Accord, 21-year-old Kelsie Remington both died at the scene. The male driver, a 21-year-old man, was transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
As of Sunday, the driver of the Accord remains in stable condition.
The crash remains under investigation, but preliminary findings indicate the roads were slick and icy at the time of the crash. UHP says Larsen may have been traveling too fast for the condition, leading to him losing control of his vehicle.
