JUAB COUNTY, Utah, March 19, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — A teenage boy was killed and three other teenagers were injured in a rollover crash Saturday in Juab County.

Juab County Sheriff’s Sgt. Brooke Finlinson told Gephardt Daily three of the four male occupants were ejected during a single-vehicle rollover about 11 a.m. on Weiss Highway.

The group was headed to Sand Mountain in the Little Sahara National Recreation Area, police said. Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash, Finlinson said.

Two of the teens ejected from the vehicle were taken by medical helicopter to an area hospital, according to police. One of those teens died while the other remains in critical condition, police said.

The other two teens were transported by ambulance to Utah Valley Hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Police did not immediately release the identity of the teen killed in the crash.

Gephardt Daily will update this story as more information becomes available.
