IRON COUNTY, UT – A rollover crash on I-15 north of Paragonah injured three people and claimed the lives of a 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman Friday.
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, this collision happened before 8:30 p.m. at mile marker 90.
Troopers said the driver, an unidentified man, lost control of his vehicle, causing it to swerve off the road and overturn multiple times. At this time, they suspect that not wearing seatbelts and speeding could have contributed to this wreck.
The force of the collision caused the 17-year-old and 19-year-old woman to suffer fatal injuries. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers have not released the name of the 17-year-old girl due to her status as a minor. They did, however, release the 19-year-old’s name – Alexia De Campos.
One woman was hospitalized for moderate injuries.
The driver and another woman were airlifted to a hospital for critical-life-threatening injuries.
