UTAH COUNTY, UT – A man’s life was claimed after he drove and crashed into the Tibble Fork River near Highland Tuesday.
Troopers were dispatched to the scene, SR-92, around 9 a.m., according to DPS.
Other first responders were trying to extricate the man trapped inside the red vehicle, which was upside down, resting on its hood. Life-saving measures were performed. However, the unidentified 56-year-old man succumbed to fatal injuries.
