PRICE, Utah, July 13, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — A 26-year-old man died Wednesday night after police say he failed to stop at a stop light and drove into the path of an oncoming semitrailer.

The man was traveling south on Main Street in a white Toyota Camry about 9:50 p.m. when he drove through the red light at 100 North and was hit broadside by an eastbound semi with a box trailer, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.

First responders attempted life-saving efforts but the man was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said.

The truck driver and a passenger in the semitrailer sustained minor injuries. UHP said impairment may be a possible contributor in the crash.

Main Street (state Route 55) was restricted for about three hours while officials investigated and cleaned up the crash.
