A man died Thursday evening after authorities found him injured near the La Verkin Overlook in Washington County, about 30 miles west of Zion National Park.
About 8:10 p.m., La Verkin Police received a call to check on the man. Authorities pinged his cell phone, and learned he was near the overlook, according to a news release on the police department’s Facebook page.
Police officers and Washington County deputies located the man’s truck and searched for about 90 minutes before other calls from passersby about a man yelling on the hillside led authorities to the him, about a half-mile from his truck and about three-quarters of the way up the hillside.
