HURRICANE, Utah, Feb. 11, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — The sole occupant was found deceased after a vehicle went off State Route 59 Sunday morning, dropped between 150 and 250 feet down the canyon, and burned.

The incident was reported just before 2:30 a.m. Emergency crews responded to SR-59 mile marker 21, a statement from Hurricane Valley Fire & Rescue says.
