GRANTSVILLE, Utah, Feb. 15, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — A single-vehicle crash near Main and Kearl streets sent a driver to the hospital and left roughly 3,000 homes without power Monday night.

The crash occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m. when a vehicle traveling west on Main Street veered off the road, struck a power pole, and then crashed into a tree, Lt. R. Sager, with the Grantsville Police Department, told Gephardt Daily.
