KIMBALL JUNCTION, Utah, Oct. 21, 2022 (Gephardt Daily) — Two people sustained minor injuries in a crash involving five vehicles, including an ATV and a dump truck hauling hot asphalt, near Kimball Junction on Friday morning.

Crews responded about 8:10 a.m. to reports of a crash on Interstate 80 just east of Kimball Junction, according to a Facebook post from the Park City Fire District.
