WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah, Jan. 31, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — One person was airlifted to the hospital with a possible heart attack Sunday afternoon following a crash on state Route 18 in Washington County.

The driver of the car had a minor injury, and a passenger in the vehicle was not injured, Wahlberg said.
The driver of the pickup truck, however, complained of chest pains. Authorities were concerned that he was having a heart attack, so he was flown by medical helicopter to an area hospital.
