Utah Highway Patrol has shared information on two separate fatal accidents on roadways in eastern Utah. First, Utah Highway Patrol shared that the identity of the man killed in Sunday’s crash in Jensen on Highway 40 was 37-year-old Cody Mitchell Chupp of Vernal. Evans Family Media joins the community in offering condolences to the friends and family affected by this loss. The second report from Utah Highway Patrol was that on Tuesday, August 26th, at about 7:40 am, a white Toyota Sequoia was traveling east on Highway 6 near milepost 231, just north of Helper, when it crossed the centerline and sideswiped a 2020 Freightliner semi, which was traveling westbound. “The collision caused the Toyota to go off the road to the east, go through the guardrail, off an embankment, and overturn, with the driver pinned underneath. The semi came to rest on the eastbound shoulder facing west. It was raining at the time, roads were wet, but there is no indication that the Toyota lost control. The driver’s door was ripped open during the collision, causing the driver to be ejected. The 43-year-old female driver sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.”
