Two people are dead and Utah Highway Patrol is working to piece together what happened after a crash that took place Saturday in Duchesne County. Utah Highway Patrol released that “On March 27th, approximately 3:00PM, a 1997 Jeep Cherokee with two occupants was traveling east on Highway 40, just west of milepost 66. The driver approached a curve in the roadway, ran off the road to the right, and overcorrected to the left. After the vehicle overcorrected left, it overcorrected right and ran off the road again. After the vehicle ran off the road to the right a second time, it overturned. Each occupant was ejected and sustained fatal injuries. Alcohol impairment as well as lack of seatbelt use is being investigated in the crash and to determine who was driving.”
