Utah Highway Patrol troopers suspect the driver of a dump truck that crashed Friday, killing at least four people, was intoxicated at the time of the collision.
Just before noon, the westbound dump truck veered at freeway speed into the median on state route 40 near the Jordanelle Reservoir. The dump truck vaulted over the median landing on the other side and colliding with an eastbound GMC pickup truck, UHP Sgt. Lawrence Hopper said.
Hopper said at least four people were inside the pickup truck — three were ejected — and they all died. Police could not identify or determine the gender of the victims because the the bodies were in such poor condition, Hopper said.
