MOUNTAIN GREEN, Utah, July 17, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — Emergency crews were dispatched to a fatal accident Friday near mile marker 95 on Interstate 84.

Crews from Mountain Green and Morgan fire departments, as well as Morgan EMS, responded to the scene just after 6 p.m.

“A car apparently crossed over the median, through the wire barrier, and struck a car traveling westbound,” a news release from Mountain Green Fire Protection District says.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene, and three others were transported with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. No other information was immediately available regarding the victims of the crash.

According to the news release, debris was strewn over the scene, which extended for a quarter-mile, completely shutting down westbound I-84.

“Firefighters treated patients and handled hazards, including a significant fuel leak from one vehicle,” the news release states.

Gephardt Daily will update this developing story as more information is made known.
