IRON COUNTY, UT – A man and a woman, were seriously and critically injured in a crash involving a Jeep and semi-truck in Kanarraville Monday.
The collision occurred at I-15 North around 6:30 pm, My Local Radio reported.
Utah State Troopers speculated that a black Jeep Wrangler was trying to merge from the side of the road when it cut off a semi-truck.
Speeding could have been a contributing factor in Monday’s crash.
The semi-truck was traveling at high speed of 75 mph when the driver did not reduce his speed in time and hit the back of the Jeep Wrangler, traveling at a far lower rate. As a result, the Jeep traveled off course and overturned.
The man and woman from the Jeep were extricated and airlifted to a hospital.
The semi-truck driver was unharmed.
Everyone involved in the collision was wearing seatbelts.
The current condition of the man and woman is unknown. Troopers did not indicate if the semi-truck driver would be facing charges.
