One person is dead and one critically injured after a person suspected of driving under the influence crashed a pickup truck into a sedan, the Utah Department of Public Safety announced Sunday.
At 12:01 a.m. Sunday morning in Orem, a woman was traveling south on Interstate 15 at milepost 272 in a Toyota pickup when she drifted into the emergency lane, where a Kia car was stopped. The truck then hit the car, which was occupied by two people.
The person in the passenger seat of the Kia died on impact, while the driver was taken to a hospital with “serious, life-threatening injuries,” police said.
The woman sustained no injuries and was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
