RIVERDALE, Utah, Nov. 25, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — Utah Highway Patrol troopers are on the scene of a fatal crash involving two semi-trucks.

The incident occurred Monday on Interstate 15 northbound at mile marker 339 in the Riverdale area, said a tweet from UHP at 3:20 p.m.

One person has been confirmed deceased, the tweet said.

“One semi was parked on the right shoulder of I-15 and the driver was out at the rear of his semi’s trailer readjusting his load,” said a follow-up tweet from UHP. “A second semi swerved right from the lane next to the parked semi to avoid a crash and impacted the driver and the rear of the parked semi.”

The deceased man has not been identified pending notification of family.

Gephardt Daily will have more on this developing story as information is made available.
